Hi Mark   and Hinko,

indeed that was the solution. Changing FTVL from FLOAT to DOUBLE gave methe 
correct contents caget:

caget -d 2 HIBEF:XFEL:image1:ArrayData
HIBEF:XFEL:image1:ArrayData
    Native data type: DBF_FLOAT
    Request type:     DBR_FLOAT
    Element count:    4000
    Value:            16.3838 28365 2581.61 2424.79 2361.6 2392.03 2354.58 
2429.48 2499.69 2380.32 2441.18 2366.28 2427.14 2429.48 2469.27

So now this problem is solved I can go on in designing the GUI for it.

Regards and many thanks for all the tips,

Jörn
