Hi Andy

Thanks for the suggestion. Firewall on my side is inactive. I have Allied Vision Manta and Mako Cameras which are streaming fine.

Thanks

Sandeep

Hi Sandeep,

Do you have a Firewall running?

I had a similar situation recently running the ADAravis driver where I could read all the information from the camera, but pressing start did nothing.

After investigating with wireshark, I discovered it was a firewall blocking the data port.

I disabled that and SELinux and then everything worked.

Cheers, Andy

Hello

I have Allied Vision Alvium G1-2460m Camera and using ADVimba driver to interface the same. I can write/read all other camera parameters but can't see image streaming (the array counter is not running up). I have followed this link to create template files. I get this message on IOC start

FYI, The software trigger source is selected which should capture the frame on every software trigger. Detector state is always in waiting state. I have attached opi screenshot to confirm that camera interface works well. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
