Hi Mark,

 

I have never seen that problem.  It seems strange that with PixelFormat=Mono8 it would be reading in 12-bit mode.  Can you set that to 8-bits with their Windows GUI software?  And if so does it revert to 12 bits when you power-cycle the camera?

 

It would probably be a good idea to expose the SensorReadoutMode feature in the EPICS driver.

 

It would also be a good idea to write a new driver based on their Vimba SDK, rather than old PvAPI SDK we are currently using J

Mark,

 

I recently deployed  a GigE camera Mako G-234B from Allied Vision with the Prosilica Area Detector but noticed a bit of oddness with the expected frame rate. The camera data sheet lists 41.2 FPS as the readout rate,10-bit sensor readout but the Xml file from the camera shows feature(s) of

 

<Feature Name="AcquisitionFrameRateAbs" Type="Float" Access="R/W">31.872511</Feature>

<Feature Name="PixelFormat" Type="Enumeration" Access="R/W">Mono8</Feature>

<Feature Name="SensorReadoutMode" Type="Enumeration" Access="R/W">Readout12Bits</Feature>

 

Which is the frame rate which Area Detector seems to acquiring at.

 

I am assuming that I would have to implement “SensorReadoutMode” to be able to get the expected FPS, or am I missing an existing parameter that might already do this?

 

Me
