That is a strange error.  Line 660 is a blank line at the end of ADBase.template.

I am using asyn R4-38 and areaDetector R3-8 with no problems, and I think many others are as well.

I notice that you are using base 7.0.2.2.  I am using base 7.0.3.1.

You said that you did not see the problem with areaDetector R3-5 and asyn R4-33.  What version of base were you using with those versions of areaDetector and asyn?

I would suggest updating base to 7.0.3.1 and see if the problem persists.

Mark

Subject: Areadetector error in version R3-8

Hi

I recently upgrade EPICS base & support modules to latest versions which are as follows

base - 7.0.2.2

seq - 2.2.6

asyn - 4-38

autosave - 5-9

astream - 2-6

busy -1-6

sscan - 2-10

areaDetector - 3-8

The error I get on loading ADBase template is -

dbLoadRecords("ADBase.template","P=Y-CAM:,R=cam1:,PORT=Y-CAM:CAM,ADDR=0,TIMEOUT=1")
Error: syntax error
 at or before ":CAM" in path "/usr/local/epics/support/areaDetector/current/ADCore/db"  file "ADBase.template" line 660
dbReadCOM: Parser stack dirty w/o error. 1

Though If I comment these line in ADBase template, I can stream camera without any error

# Set ASYN_TRACEIO_HEX bit by default

record(asyn,"$(P)$(R)AsynIO")

{

field(PORT, $(PORT))

field(TIB2,"1")

info("ADType", "ADDriver")

}

Also please note, there is no such error in Areadetector version R3-5 with asyn version 4-33. The reason for upgrade is to use ADVimba plugin instead of ADProsilica plugin.

Many Thanks
