Hi,
I’m seeking to use these modules with HDF5 data archiving.
Accordingly, I’ve been looking at the iocHDF5Test within ADSimDetector, and focused on test5.sh.
I’m working with an Ubuntu 18.04 VM.
I have:
areaDetector and ADCore R3-3-2
ADSupport R1-5
ADViewers R1-2
ADURL R2-2
Asyn4-33
Base 3.15.6
There are some issues that I need to raise:
a. st.cmd in ADSimDetector hasn’t been updated to reflect module paths – in particular lines like
dbLoadRecords("$(ADCORE)/db/simDetector.template","P=$(PREFIX),R=cam1:,PORT=$(PORT),ADDR=0,TIMEOUT=1"), where the file is no longer in ADCore.
This is easily corrected. Actually, I believe st_base.cmd from iocSimDetector can just be used.
b. When I run the sim detector and try to visualise with ImageJ, I get green on both 13SIM1:image1 and 13SIM1:image2.
But, I don’t get any image displayed for either.
c. I note an error:
NDPluginDriver::connectToArrayPort Error calling pasynManager->connectDevice to array port FFT1 address 0, status=3, error=asynManager:connectDevice port FFT1 not found.
Could my (b) have anything to do with this error?
I understand that image2 would be the FFT of the simulated data generated for image1?
d. I am able to create a HDF5 file (for either ADSimDetector or ADURL) as requested by the test5.sh script (I cloned the logic of this for the ADURL module).
These files are large (>~100MB), and clearly contain the simulated and URL data, respectively.
I’m able to open the file(s) with the hdfview application (after closing the IOC, to avoid any file write/read share issues).
But, I’m unable to view any of the data because there are no attribute nodes under the ‘test5_001.h5’ root, in the viewer.
Viewing the ‘properties’ on the ‘test5_001.h5’ node in hdfview, shows no attributes and no datasets.
I am able to visualise data from the ADURL module, quite normally.
What is it that I’m missing?
Many thanks,
Peter.
