You definitely had errors early in your IOC boot, because no records are loaded.

Please send the complete output from the IOC when you start it.  To do this you need to do the following:

- Open a Windows cmd console window.

- Right click in the top title bar and open Defaults

- Check the Quick Edit Mode box and set the Buffer Size to a large number like 3000.

Now when you run the IOC terminal you can select the entire text you want to copy with the mouse and press Enter.  Now the text is in your Windows paste buffer and you can paste it either into a file or directly into your tech-talk message.

Mark

Hi Mark
thank you for you reply:
           Do you know that there is already an areaDetector driver for Tucsen cameras?  It was written by David Vine.  I don’t know the current status.
     https://github.com/djvine/ADTucsen. ---- This is very good news for me. I didn't know that before,

  *   That's why I wanted to develop it myself, but it was very difficult

  *   Now I'll try the one you developed(https://github.com/djvine/ADTucsen.)

  *   I want to know if we can develop it ourselves.

  *   if we can develop it ourselves,how to do it.

  *   could you cc David Vine in this mail.

Hi,

Ø   YES our campany makes cameras, I'm a software engineer from tucsen.

Ø  YES,this is areaDetector IOC We want to develop our camera on Epics software>..

Ø  > - What IOC application is it?  Is it one you wrote, or one you got from some EPICS module?

Ø  year I refer to ioc from Andor3

Do you mean it is an areaDetector driver that you wrote based on ADAndor3?

Do you know that there is already an areaDetector driver for Tucsen cameras?  It was written by David Vine.  I don’t know the current status.
https://github.com/djvine/ADTucsen

If you were not aware of that, it might be a better place to start than the ADAndor3 driver.

If you do the following:

cd to your iocBoot/iocXXX directory, where XXX is whatever you named it.

Type the following command:

..\..\bin\windows-x64\XXX.exe st.cmd

where XXX is the name of your application, what to you see?  Please send the complete output.

Ø  Could you please tell me,Is Andor areaDetector-camera the software your helped develop or they developed it themselves?

The EPICS areaDetector ADAndor3 driver was written by the EPICS community, including me.  It was not written by Andor.

Hi Mark
     Firstly, thank you very much for you relpy.
Now I will answer your some question:

- It looks like this is Windows, correct?
 Yes, this is Windows
-  What does the error message say in English?
 the error message mean:There was a problem that caused the program to stop working properly.Please close the program
- What versions of EPICS base and other modules (asyn, etc.)?
 EPICS base ver:base-7.0.3.1  asyn ver:asyn-R4-37  busy ver: busy-R1-7-2 std-R3-6 .... and so on
- It looks like tucsen.com makes cameras.  Is this an areaDetector IOC?
 YES our campany makes cameras, I'm a software engineer from tucsen.

·         YES,this is areaDetector IOC We want to develop our camera on Epics software.
- What IOC application is it?  Is it one you wrote, or one you got from some EPICS module?
year I refer to ioc from Andor3
- Do you get any output in the IOC console before you get that error?  If the error is a missing DLL then you probably won't.

·         I added the necessary DLL files,So I think it should not be caused by DLL
- If you do get output then please send the complete output.
·

o    It crashes when it runs and there's no output, right

o    sometimes I find if i

§  Adding this function( createParam(TucsenPixelEncodingString,    asynParamInt32,   &TucsenPixelEncoding);

§  ) will cause the program to crash

§  In particular this enumeration(asynParamInt32

§  )
§

§  Could I trouble you for help,thk

Hi,

There is way too little information in your message to answer your question.  Most of the people on tech-talk cannot read Chinese so we don't know what the error message says.  But even if we did we need to know a lot more.

- It looks like this is Windows, correct?

-  What does the error message say in English?

- What versions of EPICS base and other modules (asyn, etc.)?

- It looks like tucsen.com makes cameras.  Is this an areaDetector IOC?

- What IOC application is it?  Is it one you wrote, or one you got from some EPICS module?

- Do you get any output in the IOC console before you get that error?  If the error is a missing DLL then you probably won't.

- If you do get output then please send the complete output.
