Hi Oksana,

type=PARAM can only be used for parameters generated by that plugin or driver, not by other plugins.

However, you may be able to do what you want by changing your plugin chain.

- Can you please diagram you plugin chain?

- Are you using both the NDPluginStats and NDPluginROIStats plugin?  If so, is this necessary?

- Is the HDF5 file saving the entire image, or just a specific ROI?

Mark

Subject: Saving hdf5 ADPilatus images along with ROI and stats data from the same frame

Hello,

I am trying to configure hdf5 plugin to save N images with 4 ROI data (start, size), and 4 Stats, connected to ROIs ( total , maxValue).

I have created Attributes.xml file  following example from ADSimDetector. type="EPICS_PV" works, however type="PARAM" does not for parameters from areaDetector/ADCore/ADApp/pluginSrc/, but does work for params from areaDetector/ADCore/ADApp/ADSrc/.

It looks like with "EPICS_PV" type statistics data come from the previous frame.

I was wondering if there is something I am missing, or there are other ways to get the correct statistics into the hdf5 file. I have tried using Stats, ROIStats, and ROI plugins.

The green attributes are correctly saved, others show NaN in hdf5 file.

I have ADCore 3.6.0; ADPilatus 2.6.0

Thank you
