Hi All,
We are using in ALS various drivers which are based on Asyn.
Some of them do not auto reconnect. I wanted to consult with you
what could be done in order to make them auto reconnect.
1. Galil (Galil-4-0-02) motion controller driver. When the connection is lost it reconnects and crashes straight after with the message:
free(): invalid size
or
munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer
example:
Disconnected from DMC4040 Rev 1.3i-SER at 131.243.196.71
connected_=1
Connected to DMC4040 Rev 1.3i-SER at 131.243.196.71
connected set false
Disconnected from DMC4040 Rev 1.3i-SER at 131.243.196.71
2024/10/30 15:17:58.330 GALILSYNC0 -1 autoConnect could not connect: Can't connect to 131.243.196.71:23 TCP: Connection timed out
2024/10/30 15:20:09.411 GALILSYNC0 -1 port is now connected
connected_=1
Connected to DMC4040 Rev 1.3i-SER at 131.243.196.71
free(): invalid size
Aborted (core dumped)
2. Vimba ccd camera driver simply does not reconnect when the connection with the camera is lost.
We use the driver for the Manta G-235B camera (with the Allied Vision 1800 U-501 NIR cheap) and also older cameras Manta_G-145 . We used before the Prosilica driver what was doing the auto connect but Vimba does not do that.
3. Custom stream device support driver which uses the call:
drvAsynIPPortConfigure("custom_device", "HW_dev:8003",0,0,0)
The ioc does not reconnect when the underlying hardware is off for a longer time (2-3 hours) and powered back.
Best Regards
Mirek
