Hi Michael,

 

The message is printed here:

 

https://github.com/areaDetector/ADPSL/blob/b1924604516eca006cab8a63b7c9fc094df35fe2/pslApp/src/PSL.cpp#L589

 

The status is the return from pasynOctetSyncIO->read in this line:

https://github.com/areaDetector/ADPSL/blob/b1924604516eca006cab8a63b7c9fc094df35fe2/pslApp/src/PSL.cpp#L585

 

pasynOctetSyncIO->read is here, and it just returns the status from pasynOctet->read().

https://github.com/epics-modules/asyn/blob/3434727d5a1ba090bb423b4c7395fdb77a57eebd/asyn/interfaces/asynOctetSyncIO.c#L218

 

The asynStatus enums are defined here:

https://github.com/epics-modules/asyn/blob/3434727d5a1ba090bb423b4c7395fdb77a57eebd/asyn/asynDriver/asynDriver.h#L48

 

status=4 thus means asynDisconnected.  That seems to indicated that the socket between the IOC and the PSL server has disconnected.

 

You can turn on asynTraceIODriver on that socket and see exactly what is being sent and received.  You can uncomment and change these lines in your st.cmd:

 

asynSetTraceIOMask("PSLServer",0,ESCAPE)

asynSetTraceMask("PSLServer",0,ERROR|DRIVER)

asynSetTraceFile("PSLServer", 0, "PSLServer.out")

 

The last line will send the output to a file, which may be more convenient.  You may also need to add this line:

 

asynSetTraceIOTruncateSize(“PSLServer”, 0, 10000000) so that you do not limit the output to just 80 bytes.

Hi all,

 

like announced in this tech-talk:

https://epics.anl.gov/tech-talk/2021/msg02173.php

I’m now trying to setup a FDS camera from Photonic Science with the ADPSL module. After adding some slightly changes to the Keywords that are send to the PSViewer-server or received from it, I can communicate with the camera without any IOC-crashes. I forked the ADPSL-module here:

https://github.com/MichaS-git/ADPSL

 

However, from time to time I receive some deprecated images (some lines show ~50k counts, although it is a darkfield image and the rest image has ~200 counts) and the IOC shows this error code:

 

2023/03/02 16:51:43.266 PSL:getImage: error reading image, status=4, dataLen=12117504, nCopied=12117503, maxRead=1, nRead=1453

 

In the PSViewer (the vendor software that runs parallel) the image appears fine. It seems to appear random but I have the feeling that it happens more often when I increase the exposure time to higher than ~2s. Can anyone say what that error with status=4 actually means?

 

Here is my complete IOC-start with the errors:
