Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

I've been strugling with ADVimba module from areaDetector.

After connecting and launching ioc with ADVimba driver I receive this error message:

 

02-05-2020 16:50:47.168 [T] Line 976 : resend returned error
2020/02/05 16:50:47.168 ADVimba::processFrame error GetReceiveStatus returned 0 frameStatus=-1

 

I checked with VimbaViewer tool that camera works properly and I am able to see any images. I have tried also pymba and I can catch frames as well.

I noticed that when I launch VimbaViewer and I close program, then, IOC based on ADVimba driver works fine.

I observed the same behaviour when I run and close another IOC with Prosilica driver.

Problem appears only when I disconnect camera from the power supply.

I have checked two camera models:

MANTA G125B, MAKO B234B

 

Version of modules I use:

EPICS ver 3.15.7

areaDetector ver 3-8

ADVimba ver 1-1

ADGenICam ver 1-2

 

My st.cmd:

#!../../bin/linux-x86_64/Camera

< envPaths

errlogInit(20000)

cd "${TOP}"

iocInit()

 

Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated.
