Hi David,

That is a known problem, that is fixed in R3-4 of ADCore. This is from RELEASE.md for  R3-4:

***************
Fixed a serious problem caused by failure to lock the correct mutex when plugins called incrementQueuedArrayCount() and decrementQueuedArrayCount(). This caused the Acquire and Acquire_RBV PVs to occasionally get stuck in the 1 (Acquire) state when acquistion was complete. It might have also caused other problems that were not reported. This problem was introduced in R3-3.
***************

I might suggest going to R3-5 or R3-6 which allow you to optionally wait for plugins to complete before the detector says it is done.

Hi all,

very infrequently my scan hangs because ADAndor acquire state stays "collecting" after the acquisition completed successfully and detector state returns to "idle" and detector status is "IDLE, waiting on instruction". Screen shot of the medm screen below.

The IOC output doesn't have any message indicating there is a problem.

If i click "stop" the Acquire state goes to "Done" however the scan does not continue. If i click "start" the detector responds normally, acquires one image and everything looks good. At the conclusion of the image that I started manually the scan will continue.

I don't know how to reproduce this on demand. It's happening once every few thousands of images. Any tips on how to troubleshoot it next time it happens would be greatly appreciated.

ADCore: 3.3.1
Driver: 2.8.0
SDK: 2.102

Thanks,
David
