Folks,

 

ADGenICam R1-5 is now available.  This is from the release notes:

 

* Changed the code and the Makefiles to avoid using shareLib.h from EPICS base.

  Added new header file ADGenICamAPI.h that is used to control whether

  functions, classes, and variables are definined internally to the library or externally.

  This is the mechanism now used in EPICS base 7.

  It makes it much easier to avoid mistakes in the order of include files that cause external

  functions to be accidentally exported in the DLL or shareable library.

  This should work on all versions of base, and have no impact on user code.

* Added fix for cameras that don't support GenICam feature AcquisitionMode=MultiFrame.

* Added 0.1 second delay between the pausing of acquisition and setting camera parameter, and

  0.1 second delay after setting a parameter and resuming acquisition.

* Added support for new cameras:

  - AVT_Mako_G158C.xml

  - Basler_piA640_210gm.xml

  - FLIR_BFS_70S7M.xml

ADAravis R2-0 is now available.  This is from the release notes:

 

* Updated from aravis 0.7.2 to 0.8.1.  The aravis API has changed, so sites will need to update their

  local aravis installation to 0.8.1.

* Fixed a problem with GenICam boolean features.  Previously the code was calling the aravis functions

  for integer features, which did not work.  It was changed to call the functions for boolean features,

  and it now works correctly.

* Removed ARHWImageMode. This was presumably used to support cameras that did not support

  the GenICam AcquisitionMode feature.  It seems all cameras now support that, and it

  was not tested that it actually worked.

* Changed printf() calls to asynPrint.  This required adding a new method.

* Added an example of adding the GenICam feature PV $(P)cam1:GC_Gamma to autosave in

  the iocAravis directory.  The auto_settings.req and st.cmd.BlackflyS_13Y3M files were changed.

ADSpinnaker R3-0 is now available.  This is from the release notes:

 

* Updated Spinnaker version from 1.2.0 to 2.0.0.147.

  Windows users will need to update their local install of Spinnaker to this version.

  Linux users do not need to do anything, since all required files are included with ADSpinnaker.

* The BufferUnderrunCount record has changed to LostFrameCount, because this is what the feature

  is called in the new version of the SDK.
