Hi Sandeep,

1. ADProsilica - Apparently, when I use "prosilicaConfig("$(PORT)", 5000698, 50, 0)" in st.cmd; the IOC crash. Somewhere I read ADprosilica has been tested only with gigE cameras.

ADProsilica only works with GigE cameras because the PvApi SDK that it uses only supports GigE.

2. ADVimba - The IOC runs with "ADVimbaConfig("$(PORT)", "$(CAMERA_ID)", 0, 0, 0)" . But the template files it uses "dbLoadRecords("$(GENICAM_DB_FILE)", "P=$(PREFIX),R=cam1:,PORT=$(PORT)")" can only be generated using arv-tools on Linux. (Downloading the XML files - https://areadetector.github.io/master/ADGenICam/ADGenICam.html). Does someone has the XML configuration files for the said model?

I don’t think that aravis supports Firewire so I am not sure how you can get the XML file. You could ask Allied Vision to send it to you.

3. ADFireWireWin - Not tried yet. Does this works with the above model?

That might work.  As far as I know that driver has not been used in many years, so it may need some work.  It relies on a library from Carnegie Mellon, and I don’t know if they support that anymore.  Their Web page seems to have been updated last in 2011, and only mentions Windows 7 not Windows 10.

It might be less expensive to replace that obsolete camera with a modern one with the same physical form factor if that is an option.
