Hi Michael,

Sorry for not responding to the previous email, but I'm glad to hear your issue is fixed.

You can submit a pull request with this change on the GitHub repository - we have never used the Firewire interface before so hadn't come across this problem.

Kind regards,

Ben

Hey again,

so with the help of the pco-Support, the camera also works fine with Firewire. The problem was: firewire needs a buffer-size that is a multiple of 4k. It works with the following changes to the function "allocateImageBuffers" in Pco.cpp:

{
  // Now allocate the memory and tell the SDK
  int bufferSize = this->xCamSize * this->yCamSize;
  if (paramInterfaceType == DllApi:: fireWire)
  {
     int firewireSize = bufferSize;
     if(firewireSize % 0x1000)           // Force to 4k granularity
     {
       firewireSize = firewireSize / 0x1000 + 3;
       firewireSize *= 0x1000;
     }
     else
     {
       firewireSize += 0x2000;
     }
     bufferSize = firewireSize;        // internal buffer used, so adapt size
   }
.
.
.

Do not out-comment the lines from my last post, this is wrong!

Best Regards
Michael

Ok, now with out-commenting the following lines, it works without crashing or errors:

  for(int i=0; i<Pco::numApiBuffers; i++)
        {
            //if(this->buffers[i].buffer != NULL)
            //{
        //                      _aligned_free(this->buffers[i].buffer);
            //}

            // this->buffers[i].buffer = (unsigned short*)_aligned_malloc(bufferSize*sizeof(unsigned short), 0x10000);
            this->buffers[i].buffer = NULL;
            this->buffers[i].bufferNumber = DllApi::bufferUnallocated;
            this->buffers[i].eventHandle = NULL;
            this->api->allocateBuffer(this->camera, &this->buffers[i].bufferNumber,
                    bufferSize * sizeof(short), &this->buffers[i].buffer,
                    &this->buffers[i].eventHandle);
            this->buffers[i].ready = true;
         {  

The IOC-process looks good, but I don't know if it is stable for a longer time. Next week we plan to use the camera for a series of measurements, so we will see. Also I didn't tried to run this compilation with the pco.1600 via GigE.

Maybe one of you could tell if the out-commented lines work for every camera-/connection- type. Maybe the best is to make an exceptional query inside the for-loop for the pco.4000 via firewire?

Kind Regards
Michael

Hi all,

I have some progress with arming the camera and taking a picture. Unfortunately this works only once. A second arm always results in an IOC-crash.

A former colleague who worked with this camera (not in EPICS) told me not to use _aligned_malloc when allocating memory. So I made the following change in the function allocateImageBuffers in Pco.cpp:

            // this->buffers[i].buffer = (unsigned short*)_aligned_malloc(bufferSize*sizeof(unsigned short), 0x10000);
            this->buffers[i].buffer = NULL;
            this->buffers[i].bufferNumber = DllApi::bufferUnallocated;
            this->buffers[i].eventHandle = NULL;
            this->api->allocateBuffer(this->camera, &this->buffers[i].bufferNumber,
                    bufferSize * sizeof(short), &this->buffers[i].buffer,
                    &this->buffers[i].eventHandle);
            this->buffers[i].ready = true;  

With that the camera arms once, but crashes always on the second arm. First arming/acquiring and the last lines of asynTrace are as follows:

1)@Ben: yes, CamWare is successfully connecting to the camera and is also taking pictures with no issues.
2)@Mark: I don't think that the camera has special features. We are actually planning to change to a newer pco.edge camera by the end of this year/beginning next year. This one with Cameralink! Until then I want to try to debug the pco.4000 with Firewire.

Today I found out, that my last tech-talk entry was wrong! Without trying to arm, the pco.4000 IOC-startup (Firewire) is the same as the pco.1600 IOC-startup (GigE). Only after the first arm was done, the correct XCAMSIZE/ YCAMSIZE/etc. of the pco.1600 are shown. Since the arm of the pco.4000 goes wrong ("Memory area is invalid.") the camera parameters are not shown. But you can see them in the asynTrace.out.

I will send the whole asynTrace of the pco.4000 in a separate e-mail to you 3 since tech-talk is not allowing attachments bigger than 512 KB. There I try to once arm the camera after IOC-init. You can see this from line ~3480, that the correct Size_X/Size_Y are shown (4008/2672). After that the exception "Failed to arm, PCO error, allocateBuffer returned a00a3006" is thrown.

The function "doArm" in /pcowinApp/src/Pco.cpp calls allocateImageBuffers() (Line 2230), which in the end calls the function PCO_AllocateBuffer from the sdk. I tried to recompile the package with the change:
bufferSize * sizeof(unsigned int) for example (instead of bufferSize * sizeof(short) )... but with no luck. Only the error-code changes to 800a3006 (instead of a00a3006). Don't know what that means.

Maybe someone of you has a proposal I can try.

Regards
Michael

Hi Michael,


Does your PCO Firewire camera have any special features?  If not I might suggest replacing it with a GigE or USB3 camera that is GenICam compliant.  These interfaces are significantly faster and have good support in areaDetector.  Depending on the number of pixels in your detector one of these replacements may well be under $500.  Tracking down the problem with the PCO Firewire camera could easily cost more in effort than the cost of replacing it.


Mark

Hi Michael,

Unfortunately we don't have any cameras with the FireWire interface at our facility so cannot try and reproduce this problem. Does the CamWare software successfully connect and communicate with the camera?

You could also try and create a simple C++ application to perform some simple test calls from the SDK (e.g. PCO_OpenCamera and PCO_GetCameraDescription) to see if you get sensible responses.

Kind regards,
Ben

Hi all,



when running the IOC to connect the pco.1600 via GigE, I noticed that the PVs PCO1600:cam1:XCAMSIZE_RBV and PCO1600:cam1:YCAMSIZE_RBV are set to 1600 x 1200 from start on. This is correct for the pco.1600 and it is working fine.



When I run the IOC to connect the pco.4000 via Firewire, the PVs PCO4000:cam1:XCAMSIZE_RBV and PCO4000:cam1:YCAMSIZE_RBV are set to: 1280 x 1024. This is not correct, since the pco.4000 has x-y-size that is 4008 x 2672. I think the size 1280 x 1024 is coming from the file in .ADPcoWin/pcowinApp/src/Pco.cpp , lines 140 and 141:



paramXCamSize(this, "PCO_XCAMSIZE", 1280)



paramYCamSize(this, "PCO_YCAMSIZE", 1024)



I think, these are the default settings, that are overwritten when the camera is set up fine (see pco.1600 .).

I changed paramXCamSize and paramYCamSize in Pco.cpp to 4008 x 2672 and recompiled ADPcoWin. When running the IOC, the PCO4000:cam1:XCAMSIZE_RBV and PCO4000:cam1:YCAMSIZE_RBV are 4008 x 2672 from start on but I still get the allocateBuffer error .



In the Pco.cpp there is also the function "Pco::allocateImageBuffers()" (Line 1924) that is calculating:



int bufferSize = this->xCamSize * this->yCamSize;



but since the default start-up is not setting the paramXCamSize and paramYCamSize correct, the Buffer allocation fails, at least this is now my assumption. So I think the communication via Firewire is not working correctly. As I understood no one is using these cameras via Firewire, so maybe it was never tested?



Best regards

Michael

@Ben

I use the same pcowinIOC that compiled with the ADPcoWin-module for both cameras. The location for "pcowinApp.exe" /ADPcoWin/iocs/pcowinIOC/bin/windows-x64-static/. is for both start-ups the same. I only made 2 folders in /ADPcoWin/iocs/pcowinIOC/iocBoot/. ("iocPco1600Win" and "iocPco4000Win") for the different start-up scripts and autosave. I also tried to separate them to have each his own ./bin/windows-x64-static/. but the results were the same.



When I check the memory usage in the Task-Manager, it tells me that I user ~15% of the RAM when the IOC is up.

Hi Michael,



I have checked the logs of our IOCs using this PCO driver and haven't experienced the same issue before. We don't make use of the FireWire interface, but I think that should be invisible to the driver.



On top of what Mark has said, is the boot script, built IOC and server identical between your two different PCO setups? Could the server be running out of memory?



Kind regards,

Ben

Hi Michael,


There are 2 placec in Pco.cpp where allocateBuffer is called from, you need to add some debugging to figure out which is generating your error.


The exception is being thrown in this code in DllApi.cpp:


/**
 * Allocate a buffer
 */
void DllApi::allocateBuffer(Handle handle, short* bufferNumber, unsigned long size,
        unsigned short** buffer, Handle* event) throw(PcoException) {
    int result = doAllocateBuffer(handle, bufferNumber, size, buffer, event);
    *this->trace << "DllApi->AllocateBuffer(" << handle << ", " <<
        *bufferNumber << ", " << size << ", " << *buffer << ", " << event << ") = " <<
        result << std::endl;
    if(result != DllApi::errorNone)
    {
        throw PcoException("allocateBuffer", result);
    }
}



It looks like there is some asynTrace message you can enable to see what is being passed to doAllocateBuffer.   You know that result is a00a3006, so you need to figure out what that error code means.


git grep gives a hint:

corvette:ADPcoWin/pcowinApp/src>git grep 3006
include/PCO_err.h:#define PCO_ERROR_SDKDLL_BADMEMORY                  0x80003006 // Memory area is invalid
include/PCO_errt.h:  "Memory area is invalid.",                       // 0x80003006  PCO_ERROR_SDKDLL_BADMEMORY

Hi Oksana, hi Mark,



I tried the suggestion from Oksana, but with no luck. Still there is the same error.



In the file "Pco.cpp" (located in ./pcowinApp/src/) I found this code, from which the error is coming from (I think.):



/**





* Allocate image buffers and give them to the SDK. We allocate actual memory here,





* rather than using the NDArray memory because the SDK hangs onto the buffers, it only





* shows them to us when there is a frame ready. We must copy the frame out of the buffer





* into an NDArray for use by the rest of the system.





*/





void Pco::allocateImageBuffers() throw(std::bad_alloc, PcoException)





{





// Now allocate the memory and tell the SDK





int bufferSize = this->xCamSize * this->yCamSize;





try





{





for(int i=0; i<Pco::numApiBuffers; i++)





{





if(this->buffers[i].buffer != NULL)





{





_aligned_free(this->buffers[i].buffer);





}





this->buffers[i].buffer = (unsigned
this->short*)_aligned_malloc(bufferSize*sizeof(unsigned short),
this->0x10000);





this->buffers[i].bufferNumber = DllApi::bufferUnallocated;





this->buffers[i].eventHandle = NULL;





this->api->allocateBuffer(this->camera, &this->buffers[i].bufferNumber,





bufferSize * sizeof(short), &this->buffers[i].buffer,





&this->buffers[i].eventHandle);





this->buffers[i].ready = true;





}





}





catch(std::bad_alloc& e)





{





// Recover from memory allocation failure





{





TakeLock(&this->apiLock);





this->api->stopFrameCapture();





}





this->freeImageBuffers();





throw e;





}





catch(PcoException& e)





{





// Recover from PCO camera failure





{





TakeLock(&this->apiLock);





this->api->stopFrameCapture();





}





this->freeImageBuffers();





throw e;





}



}



Is this a hint maybe?

Michael's dbLoadRecords is actually fine.  Oksana has computed the size in bytes, but NELEMENTS is not bytes it is the number of elements in the waveform record, and in this case the FTVL is SHORT, so each element is 2 bytes.



Michael has actually allocated somewhat more elements than required, since  4008*2672 = 10709376, which is fewer than he allocated.



But more importantly Michael's error is from the PCO driver, which knows nothing about the size of the waveform record being used by NDPluginStdArrays.  This problem is in the driver, not the plugins.

Hi Michael,

I did not see this error, but it might be related to the buffer you allocate for you image. It is possible the driver checks unsatisfactory size and reports the error.



You are using CA protocol Image.

dbLoadRecords("C:/epics/inst-7.0.3.1/areaDetector-R3-9/ADCore/db/NDStdArrays.template", "P=PCO4000:,R=image1:,PORT=Image1,ADDR=0,TIMEOUT=1,NDARRAY_PORT=PCO1,TYPE=Int16,FTVL=SHORT,NELEMENTS=11059200")

with X and Y :

epicsEnvSet("XSIZE",  "4008")

epicsEnvSet("YSIZE",  "2672")



I looked at the datasheet and it says that the pixel depth is 14 bit for this camera, which requires 2 bytes.



4008x2672x2=21,418,752 and you allocated 11,059,200.



Try changing to NELEMENTS=21418752



And see it this fixes the problem.



With best regards,

Oksana

Hello again,



I've been working some weeks now with the pco1600-camera connected via GigE. It works fine with the ADPcoWin-IOC. Great software, thanks to the epics-community!

However, I also try to set up a pco4000-camera connected via Firewire. The IOC starts and finds the camera but everytime I try to acquire an image there is the error:



Failed to arm, PCO error, allocateBuffer returned a00a3006



I guess, there are some settings that I've missed.

The camera connects fine with the original camware from pco.

I already tried to set the "QSIZE" , "CBUFFS", "XSIZE" or "YSIZE" values to different parameters, but with no look. Maybe someone already had this issue?

This is my IOC-startup:
