Re: Driver for Eiger1 with SIMPLON 1.8.0

[Rong Huang via Tech-talk <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

Hi Mark,

I tried (a) iocEiger1 using "eiger2.template", (b) iocEiger2, both have probably same IOC startup errors: cannot find parameters of:

 HV_RESET_TIME, THRESHOLD2, TRIGGER_START_DELAY, HV_RESET_TIME, THRESHOLD2, TRIGGER_START_DELAY, THRESHOLD1_ENABLE, THRESHOLD2_ENABLE, THRESHOLD_DIFF_ENABLE, HV_RESET, THRESHOLD1_ENABLE, THRESHOLD2_ENABLE, THRESHOLD_DIFF_ENABLE, EXT_GATE_MODE, EXT_GATE_MODE, HV_STATE

Wondering if that is because these parameters are not available in Eiger1 hardware (I can check it tomorrow)?

If that is the case, should we just remove these records from the template file (and to modify the medm adl file)?  (Or maybe roll back to 1.6.0 for now?)

I am attaching the iocEiger2 IOC startup printout in this email.

Thank you,

Rong

Hi Rong,

I see the problem now.  You said:

• Simply tried areaDetector-R3-13, iocEiger1, but it has IOC startup errors. I am not sure about the version of ADEiger, but likely a recent release on github.

I did not read that carefully.  The problem is that you should be using iocEiger2, not iocEiger1.  It loads eiger2.template, rather than eiger1.template.  eiger1.template contains the records for the Simplon 1.6.0 API, which are causing the error messages.  eiger2.template is for the 1.8.0 API, and adds more records which you will want for your detector.  You should also use eiger2Detector.xxx for your OPI screen, not eigerDetector.xxx.

Hi Mark,

I started the medm GUI, and I found out the versions of other parts:

Firmware version:    release-2024.1

SDK version:            1.8.0

Driver version:          3.4.0

ADCore version:       3.13.0

(Detector) Model:     EIGER1 Si 9M

There are no blank fields in the "eigerDetector.al" window (but not sure about other windows).

Thanks,

Rong

Hi Mark,

In my eigerDetector.cpp, line 61:

static const string DRIVER_VERSION("3.4.0");

eigerApp/src/restApi.h defines the versions:

 

typedef enum {

  API_1_6_0,

  API_1_8_0

} eigerAPIVersion_t;

 

So API_1_6_0 = 0 and API_1_8_0=1.  The fact that you are getting 1 means it is returning the correct value.

 

I suspect you may have an old version of the driver, because as I said before the new version does not try to access parameters like LINK_0, etc. unless the detector is using API_1_6_0.

 

You need to figure out what version of the driver you are running.  There is a line that defines DRIVER_VERSION in eigerDetector.cpp:

 

static const string DRIVER_VERSION("3.4.0");

 

What does yours say?

 

If you are running a git clone then you can do

 

git status to find what version you are using.

Hi Mark,

 

After "mAPIVersion = mApi.getAPIVersion();", I added "std::cout << "mAPIVersion: " << mAPIVersion << std::endl;" and the printout is:

 

mAPIVersion: 1

 

Not sure what else to check

 

Thanks,

The areaDetector driver works with Simplon 1.8.0.  See the screenshot here:

https://areadetector.github.io/areaDetector/ADEiger/eiger.html#medm-screens

 

The unknown parameters are only present in the Simplon 1.6, not 1.8.0.  The driver only tries to create those parameters if it thinks the detector is running Simplon 1.6.0.

https://github.com/areaDetector/ADEiger/blob/9603656227ba50007401f6dcc1b4c24fb977b9bf/eigerApp/src/eigerDetector.cpp#L352

 

I can think of 2 possible reasons for the error messages:

• You are running an old version of the driver that did not do this test.
• The driver is not correctly detecting that your detector is running the Simplon 1.8.0 API.

 

This is where it reads the API version:

https://github.com/areaDetector/ADEiger/blob/9603656227ba50007401f6dcc1b4c24fb977b9bf/eigerApp/src/eigerDetector.cpp#L197

 

You could add some debugging to see what value it is getting in that call.

Subject: Driver for Eiger1 with SIMPLON 1.8.0

 

Hello,

 

We have an Eiger X Si 9M detector using SIMPLON 1.8.0, and we would like to use EPICS areaDetector driver. 

Simply tried areaDetector-R3-13, iocEiger1, but it has IOC startup errors. I am not sure about the version of ADEiger, but likely a recent release on github.

Should we roll back to SIMPLON 1.6? Or is there something I have overlooked during installation? Or the IOC startup errors can just be ignored? (cannot find parameters of DCU_BUF_FREE, CLEAR, LINK_0, LINK_1, LINK_2, LINK_3).

 

Thanks,

Rong
