Hi Sandeep,
I thought a little harder about using ADVimba. So far ADVimba has only been used with GenICam cameras, which contain the XML file you mentioned. However, I don’t think the Firewire cameras (IEEE 1394a or 1394b) are GenICam compliant,
so they probably don’t have an XML file you can download. Firewire cameras have a fixed set of feature names that are specified in the IEEE standard. The Vimba SDK says it is supports IEEE 1394, so they are presumably using the same calls to write/read features
that they use for GenICam. That means you probably can use ADVimba, but you will need to manually create the .template file using the correct feature names, and manually create the OPI screens. This seems possible, but as I said previously it may be cheaper,
considering the developer’s time to do that, to just buy a new camera.

Hi Sandeep,
-
ADProsilica - Apparently, when I use "prosilicaConfig("$(PORT)", 5000698, 50, 0)" in st.cmd; the IOC crash. Somewhere I read
ADprosilica has been tested only with gigE cameras.
ADProsilica only works with GigE cameras because the PvApi SDK that it uses only supports GigE.
-
ADVimba - The IOC runs with "ADVimbaConfig("$(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.
-
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.

Hi
Which areadetector driver should be used to interface AVT(Allied Vision)-Marlin F033B
Firewire camera on Windows OS? I tried a few of them and below are my observations.
