Re: Dante-1-1

Hi Mark,

  I'll check the firmware version tomorrow. Yes, the vendor firmware works on Windows with the USB interface. Beyond making sure it could be pinged, I don't know if it was tested with vendor software with ethernet interface.

I looked more closely at the log file and I see this:

DanteConfig("DANTE1", 172.16.0.120, 6, 0, 0)
Dante::Dante library version=3.7.19.0
Dante::Dante ipAddress added to query=172.16.0.120
Dante::Dante number of devices=0
Dante::Dante error calling get_ids

And in particular, number of devices=0. Isn't that set in the DanteConfig line to be 6?

Pete.

Hi Pete,

What firmware is your unit running?

Does the vendor software work OK?

I’ll be back from vacation on Monday.

We have an 8-channel Dante system from XG labs. It has 6 detectors connected. I made a fresh synApps install on Ubuntu 22.04, epics 7.0.6 and added the dante-1-1 module to it. All built well.

Starting up the mcaDanteApp from iocDante8, I got a long string of errors ending in a dump. I have attached the st.cmd (renamed st.txt so it isn't blocked) file and the console output. I'm sure it is something stupid, but I don't know if it is even supposed to work; the doc says it hasn't been tested much and I am new to both the hardware and the code.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,

Pete.
