• Previously, 'Software' was a trigger choice.  So something in the camera changed so that this is not now a choice?

 

Yes, I think some other parameter in the camera has changed so that software is no longer a valid choice.

 

Note that at run-time you actually have 2 fewer choices than in the template file.  The template file has 15 choices, i.e. TTxx (13) and FTxx (14) are valid.  But at run-time TTxx and FTxx are not valid.

 

It appears that the missing (invalid) entries are Software and Line1.

John,

 

What you are seeing is completely normal.

 

The template file is created by the Python script using the camera’s XML file.  That XML file contains all possible choices for each enum.  However, not all of those choices are necessarily available at run time, depending on the camera state.  The enum choices in the record at run-time are dynamic, based on which choices are actually available for the current camera configuration.

 

Note that with older OPIs like medm you will need to close and re-open the window to see the new enum choices. On newer OPIs like Phoebus the enum choices update in the display when they are changed without needing to close and re-open the window.

All,

 

I am using a FLIR camera with base-7.0.6, areaDetector-R3-13, ADGeniCam-R1-9, ADSpinnake-R3-5 on Alma 9.

 

This IOC has been running normally but after a restart of the IOC I am seeing a strange problem I have not encountered before. On start-up the IOC loads an mmbo record from FLIR_BFS_U3_161S7M.template but the fields in the instantiated record don't match the database file. [ this doesn't appear to be the only affected record ]

 

The instantiated record has 13 states where I expect 14. The first state has been lost and all the others are shifted down one with respect to the definition in the template file.

 

I could imagine the record being over-written later by another db file. I don't see how that would come about when it was ok previously. Is there a way to tell if this is happening?

 

Any thoughts,
