Hi Wanming,

 

Ø  Don't know what to do with MaskedIntReg

Ø  Don't know what to do with IntReg

 

Those messages are normal, you can ignore them.

 

Ø  When I tried to acquire data from the camera,  the IOC complained about

Ø  ADAravis::newBufferCallback bad frame status: Timeout

Ø  or sometimes

Ø  ADAravis::newBufferCallback bad frame status: Missing Pkts.

 

Have you set the Linux system parameters for GigE cameras as explained here:

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your response.

 

When use addCamera.sh in ADGenICam with the XML file extracted with arv-tool-0.8, it shows a bunch of don’t know what to do with IntReg.  Based on the ADAravis documentation, it should be fine.

Then I copied one of the st.cmd…  file into st.cmd.si and modified it as following

 

< envPaths

errlogInit(20000)

 

dbLoadDatabase("$(TOP)/dbd/ADAravisApp.dbd")

ADAravisApp_registerRecordDeviceDriver(pdbbase)

 

# Name of camera as reported by arv-tool

epicsEnvSet("CAMERA_NAME", "Spectral Instruments, Inc.-1700-139")

 

# The maximum image width; used for row profiles in the NDPluginStats plugin

epicsEnvSet("XSIZE",  "2048")

 

# The maximum image height; used for column profiles in the NDPluginStats plugin

epicsEnvSet("YSIZE",  "1088")

 

# Define NELEMENTS to be enough for a 2048x1088 mono image

epicsEnvSet("NELEMENTS", "22228224")

 

# Enable register caching

epicsEnvSet("ENABLE_CACHING", "1")

 

# The database file

epicsEnvSet("GENICAM_DB_FILE", "$(ADGENICAM)/db/si.template")

 

< st.cmd.base

 

 

Then I launched IOC and every thing looks fine.  The problem was when I tried to acquire data from the camera. 

When I tried to acquire data from the camera,  the IOC complained about

 

ADAravis::newBufferCallback bad frame status: Timeout

or sometimes

ADAravis::newBufferCallback bad frame status: Missing Pkts.

 

while no image can be displayed on the OPI.  

 

It might be some camera setting issues or network setting issue.

 

Thanks for advices

Hi Wanming,

 

Those errors may not prevent ADAravis from working.  For example most but not all cameras have the SensorWidth feature, but ADAravis does not require it.  It does require WidthMax.  Similarly, many cameras do not have a GainRaw feature.

 

What happens if you run arv-tool-0.8 to extract the XML file, use the Python scripts to generate the template and OPI files, and then try to run an ADAravis IOC with the camera?

Hi,

 

We recently bought a few radiation hard GigE cameras from Spectral Instruments Inc.  I’m just wondering if anybody has any experience using them with ADAravis.

We have no problem using ADAravis with other GigE camera we have.  But so far there is no success with this Spectral Instruments 1700 radiation hard camera. 

When I checked it with arv-test-0.8.exe, it reports several errors.

$ arv-test-0.8.exe

Any comments and suggestions are appreciated.
