Hi Jason,


Please run the caget and cainfo utilities from EPICS base to read those PVs.   I have never had the experience of caget being able to see a PV but medm not being able to see it.


medm does not use Python at all.  It only uses the C Channel Access interface from EPICS base.

Please also send the output of the following on the same console where you will run medm.

printenv | grep EPICS

At the IOC prompt please send the output of this command:
epicsPrtEnvParams

Mark

Subject: Re: Controlling Eiger 1M with EPICS

Hello,

I've made a few discoveries.  First, iptables lists all three default chains in the ACCEPT state.  I do not believe any firewall rules are applied to the system running EPICS.  /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny have no rules.  So, I don't think there is any security interference preventing TCP/UDP connections on the system.

Second, as you already surmised, all "PV Info" dialogs state that any PV value is in the disconnected state (the reason every PV has a white box instead of a value).  Nothing appears to change with the newer ADEiger/.../op/adl files.  I've been able to target each issue that was emitting errors when running st.cmd, the last one coming down to caRepeater not being available in the PATH for st.cmd (via iocInit()?) to launch automatically.  This removed the output that multiple instances of a server were listening to the same port, since I had previously setup the included caRepeater.service file in systemctl to have caRepeater running all the time.

However, nothing I've tried so far has allowed medm to connect to the IOC.  I have the feeling it has something to do with medm itself or our EPICS installation or the detector interface.  When I used the template Perl CA.pm test script, it connects just fine, and prints out the values of any PV item I provide.  Some of them give errors at the end of the output, though.  I've included some output examples at the end of this message.  I verified that the list of PVs displayed by the 'dbl' command at the "epics>" prompt after running st.cmd match names in the medm interface's white boxes that show disconnected properties when right clicking and selecting PV Info on them.  All PV names tested in the output below were copy/pasted from lines output by 'dbl'.

Does the medm interface use the Python bindings for EPICS at all?  I was going to try the Python test program first, but noticed that our EPICS installation was not compiled with Python included, only Perl.  So, that's why I went with the Perl test program instead.  Should I work on recompiling EPICS and/or MEDM or try to install a different interface?  I read mention of a CS-Studio/Eclipse interface but haven't looked into it, yet.

Thanks to everyone for your patience while wading through these issues with me.

Ok.  That makes sense.  There is only a single 10Gbit Ethernet cable connecting the Eiger R1M to the DCU computer.

I didn't even think that the firewall could be an issue.  I'll check and get back to you as well as attempt to upgrade medm.

Thanks!

Hi Jason,

How many 10 GigE cables does your Eiger have connecting the detector to the computer? If only one then it makes sense that only LINK_0 is defined.

The white medm screens are probably a separate issue. If you type “dbl” at the IOC prompt do you see the same PV names that are white on the medm screens? If so then you probably have a firewall preventing medm from connecting to the IOC.

It also looks like you should get the latest medm screen from the master branch on Github.  I improved that recently.

I successfully applied the firmware update to the DCU, and it now shows 1.6.6.  However, we are still in the same boat.  I checked the link_N URLs individually against the DCU's server through my browser, and verified that only link_0 functioned and returned status.  All other links returned a 500 error with a message about not being able to forward properly to an internal proxy.  So, I commented out in the eigerDetector.cpp all lines associated with link(s)_1 through 3 and recompiled.  That eliminated the error messages we were receiving regarding those links and made the output a lot cleaner.  I'm assuming the Eiger R1M only has one link, maybe?


However, medm still displays the same blank info screens (screenshot attached).  Here is the output of st.cmd.  Should we be concerned about the line that states "ServerContext configured with not Providers will do nothing!"?


Thank you all for all your help with this.

I think that at some point after 1.6.2 Dectris changed "linkN" to "link_N". I think the easiest solution is to update the firmware.

My Eiger 50K has firmware 1.6.6.  So I think it is quite possible that the problem is that you are running older firmware.

Hi Mark,

I think I was able to obtain an image using the web interface.  I will verify this the next time I'm at the instrument.  When running the st.cmd command, the light on the back of the Eiger changes from red to green before spewing errors.

I did a little more digging.  Our Eiger firmware version is 1.6.2.  The version of ADEiger that we are attempting to use had in one of the RELEASE info files the mention of requiring firmware version 1.6.4+.  Do you think this could be our issue?  I've downloaded R2-1 which mentions 1.6.2 and am going to attempt to compile it with the areaDetector tree we currently have installed.

Thanks for your help!

Hi Jason,

I had a similar problem with our Eiger 500, but in my case it could only not find link_3 and link_4.  This is an expected error on the Eiger 500K because only link_1 and link_2 exist.  I fixed the driver for the 500K in this commit:

In your case it is not finding any of the links (link_1 through link_4), probably in the eigerDetector::eigerStatus() function.  That does not make sense to me.

Is the detector working otherwise?  Can you collect an image?

Mark

Hello,



I'm attempting to setup a Dectris Eiger R 1M with EPICS (3.15.5) and have compiled the latest version of asyn, ADSupport, ADCore, and ADEiger driver.  Upon running st.cmd, I receive the following errors:
