If that is true then you are not using ADCore R3-8, which you said you were in your original message.

Here is the proof:

corvette:ADCore/ADApp/Db>git checkout R3-8 ADBase.template
corvette:ADCore/ADApp/Db>cat -n ADBase.template
     1  #=================================================================#
     2  # Template file: ADBase.template
     3  # Database for area detector control using asyn driver and standard asyn device support
     4  # Mark Rivers
     5  # March 9, 2008
     6
...
   649  ###################################################################
   650  #  The asynRecord is used for mainly for trace mask               #
   651  ###################################################################
   652
   653  # Set ASYN_TRACEIO_HEX bit by default
   654  record(asyn,"$(P)$(R)AsynIO")
   655  {
   656      field(PORT, $(PORT))
   657      field(TIB2,"1")
   658      info("ADType", "ADDriver")
   659  }
   660

So in R3-8 line 660 is blank.

However, if I checkout the master branch of ADBase.template I see this:

   653  ###################################################################
   654  #  The asynRecord is used for mainly for trace mask               #
   655  ###################################################################
   656
   657  # Set ASYN_TRACEIO_HEX bit by default
   658  record(asyn,"$(P)$(R)AsynIO")
   659  {
   660      field(PORT, $(PORT))
   661      field(TIB2,"1")
   662      info("ADType", "ADDriver")
   663  }
   664

So I think you may be running the master branch of ADCore.

I am running the master branch and I don't see your error.

It will be interesting to see if the problem goes away if you run base 7.0.3.1.

Hi Mark

I used base 3.15 for areadetector 3-5 and asyn 4-33. Meanwhile I'll check with base 7.0.3

Also FYI, for me line no 660 points to field(PORT, $(PORT)) in ADBase.template file

Thanks

Hi Sandeep, > 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 > 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. 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.
