Re: ImageJ from waveform record

Hi Mark

Thanks for that, has enabled me to make progress and saved me time looking 
through the source. Should be able to get things working as I want now.

Hi Steve,

The ImageJ plugin assumes that the EPICS PVs are named as follows, which are 
the names in the NDPluginStdArrays plugin in areaDetector:
           ch_nx = createEPICSChannel(PVPrefix + "ArraySize0_RBV");
           ch_ny = createEPICSChannel(PVPrefix + "ArraySize1_RBV");
           ch_nz = createEPICSChannel(PVPrefix + "ArraySize2_RBV");
           ch_colorMode = createEPICSChannel(PVPrefix + "ColorMode_RBV");
           ch_image = createEPICSChannel(PVPrefix + "ArrayData");
           ch_image_id = createEPICSChannel(PVPrefix + "UniqueId_RBV");

PVPrefix: There are no limitations on what the PVPrefix is.

ColorMode_RBV
 0: mono, ArraySize0_RBV=NX, ArraySize1_RBV=NY
 1: Bayer, ArraySize0_RBV=NX, ArraySize1_RBV=NY
 2: RGB1, ArraySize0_RBV=3, ArraySize1_RBV=NX, ArraySize2_RBV=NY
 3: RGB2, ArraySize0_RBV=NX, ArraySize1_RBV=3, ArraySize2_RBV=NY
 4: RGB3, ArraySize0_RBV=NX, ArraySize1_RBV=NY, ArraySize2_RBV=3

ArrayData: The waveform record.

UniqueId_RBV: This is a number that must increment when a new image is 
available.  The viewer puts a CA monitor on this PV and does a ca_get() on 
the ArrayData PV.  It does not put a monitor on the ArrayData PV directly, 
because it would then need to change its subscription each time the 
dimensions or color mode of the image changed, or else it would not get the 
correct size.
If you have PVs in your IOC that have this naming convention and behavior 
then it should work.

Subject: ImageJ from waveform record

Is it possible to use the ImageJ plugin to display data being put into a 
waveform record from a source other than AreaDetector? I have an IOC with 
image data in a waveform and corresponding NX/NY/NZ records. I’m not sure 
what to use for the PVPrefix. I have just used the waveform record name, 
plus a :, but I get “Cannot connect to EPICS PVs” errors. I suspect this 
must be wrong.
Thanks

Steve
