Hi Jorn,

areaDetector definitely works with float or double arrays.

I am not sure if this is your problem, but I see an incompatibility here:

> dbLoadRecords("$(ADCORE)/db/NDStdArrays.template", "P=$ (PREFIX),R=image1:,PORT=Image1,ADDR=0,TIMEOUT=1,NDARRAY_PORT=$(PORT),TYPE=Float64,FTVL=FLOAT,NELEMENTS=8000")

Note that you have told it TYPE=Float64, which selects the asynFloat64Array interface.  However, you told it FTVL=FLOAT, which is for 32-bit floats.  These fields need to be consistent, i.e. TYPE=Float64 and FTVL=DOUBLE or TYPE=Float32 and FTVL=FLOAT.

Subject: areaDetector question

I'm currently developing an areaDetector module for a sensor that delivers its information as double values. The code is ready, but I'm somehow not able to setup the ioc correctly to deliver the data in the NDStdArray. Looking with caget at the ArrayData it shows all values as zero.

Here is what my dbLoadRecords line looks like: 

dbLoadRecords("$(ADCORE)/db/NDStdArrays.template", "P=$ (PREFIX),R=image1:,PORT=Image1,ADDR=0,TIMEOUT=1,NDARRAY_PORT=$
(PORT),TYPE=Float64,FTVL=FLOAT,NELEMENTS=8000")

My question is, has anybody before tried to read floats? With another driver that reads UInt32 values, I succeeded to setup the ioc.

Regards,

Jörn Dreyer
