Hi Michael,
I missed the text about GenICam interface on the OEM page. If it does a good job of following the GenICam standard then it should work with ADAravis.
What are the special camera features that you are looking for that other cameras don't have?

Hi Mark, Cobb,
I also found the ADPSL module. But from
this ~7 year old tech-talk I understood that the ADAravis module is more feasible for cameras from PS.
@Mark: on this Web site:
https://photonicscience.com/oem/
under Camera Design Capabilities there is the point “Genicam compliant interface, Camera Link interface”. This is why I assume that
by now they are offering the Genicam interface. But of course this has to be discussed with PS prior to any purchase.
However, in any case (with Genicam or PSLViewer) I think the camera will not work plug-and-play with EPICS, at least not with every feature. If we decide to test one, I will let you know by asking questions about ADAravis/ADPSL
😉
Thanks!
Michael

Betreff: Re: Photonic Science X-ray FDS camera
I have tested a Photonic Science Genicam compliant camera a long time ago. It worked after a fashion but had some quirks that I can't remember off the top of my head. I think it used the Pleora GigE Vision Embedded
Interface. If they are using this, it should work with ADAravis, but the features will need testing to make sure they have been implemented properly.
We also had another camera that used the PSLViewer that Mark describes. It did not work well.
This is from the documentation:
The interface to the detector is via a TCP/IP socket interface to the PSLViewer program that PSL provides. Before starting the areaDetector software the following needs
to be done:
-
Run the PSLViewer program
-
Open the Tools/Server control window
-
Select a PORT. The default is 50000. This port must be used in the drvAsynIPPortConfigure command in the areaDetector startup script.
-
Press the Start server button.
The only description I could find on their Web site about software is this single sentence:
A device server driver control allows remote aquisition through existing GUI interface.
This leads me to think that they still do not provide an SDK for controlling their cameras, and still just use a socket interface to their standalone GUI program. I don't see anything to indicate that the cameras
have a GenICam interface.
I had issues in the past where they changed the API of their socket server, requiring non-backwards compatible changes to the ADPSL driver.
