I just want to confirm this issue when testing two Alvium cameras G1-500c and G1-577m. I attach the screenshots.

The trick as Sandeep later communicated is to process $(P)$(R)GC_AcquisitionStart once after iocInit.

From Mark's comment about the code.

This does not make any sense to me.  When you set $(P)$(R)Acquire to 1 that calls pCamera_->StartContinuousImageAcquisition() in the Vimba SDK:
https://github.com/areaDetector/ADVimba/blob/17dcdb1b0a86db808e200232f8b68d5900c30a8f/vimbaApp/src/ADVimba.cpp#L588

That just make the problem weirder.

The test with ADAravis driver showed no such issue.

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 <https://areadetector.github.io/master/ADGenICam/ADGenICam.html#python-scripts> 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
