Hi John,
Ø
I have contacted Quantum. I thought that while waiting to hear from them it would make sense to build an IOC from source. On github I see
Ø
epics-modules/xspress3
The IOC that Quantum distributes is ancient, using areaDetector R1-9-1.
That is the one I recommend you use. Matt Newville in our group here at the APS is maintaining it. It is working with the latest version of ADCore, ADSupport, etc.
It uses NDPluginROIStat for ROI statistics.
There are new OPI screens.

Subject: XSPRESS3 hdf5 problems
I have a new 5 channel Quantum Xspress3 data readout unit which when taking multiple frames will start generating hdf5 related error messages at what seems like random (will acquire between a few or
thousands of frames before generating errors). Once these messages start they seem to continue until the IOC segfaults.
repeating pair of error messages on the IOC console:
HDF5-DIAG: Error detected in HDF5 (1.8.12) thread 0:
#000: ../../src/H5Dio.c line 231 in H5Dwrite(): can't prepare for writing data
#001: ../../src/H5Dio.c line 348 in H5D__pre_write(): file selection+offset not within extent
This IOC is a binary that comes with the detector.
I have contacted Quantum. I thought that while waiting to hear from them it would make sense to build an IOC from source. On github I see
quantumdetectors/xspress3-epics forked from the above.
Any advice on which i should go with? Any suspicions regarding the hdf5 errors?
