Re: Retiga E7 and ADKinetix

[John Dobbins via Tech-talk <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

If I do ldd on the EPICS built FanSpeedAndTemperature I see it points to

      libpvcam.so.2 =>  [ ... ]/ADKinetix/lib/linux-x86_64/libpvcam.so.2 

I then copy libpvcam.*  from

/opt/pvcam/library/x86_64/

to

[...]/ADKinetix/lib/linux-x86_64

And my EPICS built version of FanSpeedAndControl now works

What is going on?

I have the latest ADKinetix source code.

I modified ADKinetix::ADKinetix  to just retrieve the camera name, following 

/opt/pvcam/sdk/examples/code_samples

However, the returned name is nonsense. Each run returns a different nonsense result. This was true before my modifications also.

----------

I then did the following:

I verify that I can successfully run 

/opt/pvcam/sdk/examples/code_samples/bin/linux-x86_64/release/FanSpeedAndTemperature

Then I copied the example source files

FanSppecandTemperature.cpp

Common.cpp

Common.h

version.h

to

ADKinetix/kinetixApp/src

And I add these lines to the Makefile

PROD_HOST += FanSpeedAndTemperature

FanSpeedAndTemperature_LIBS += pvcam

FanSpeedAndTemperature_SRCS += FanSpeedAndTemperature.cpp

FanSpeedAndTemperature_SRCS += Common.cpp

Which builds FanSpeedAndTemperature  using the EPICS build system

The version of FanSpeedAndTemeprature built in this way has the same behavior, outputs a random nonsense name

PVCAM initialized

Number of cameras found: 1

Camera 0 name: '��b"�'

I don't know how to proceed. Any advice appreciated.

I have a new  Teledyne Retiga E7.

I first tested on windows using the PVCAM software and the Beacon software.

Next on Linux, Alma 9,  I verified that /opt/pvcam/bin/PVCamTest/x86_64/'PVCanTestCli   succeeds.

Then using ADKinetix R1-1,  base-7.0.6 , areaDetector-R3-13  I get a segfault  (see below)

What should I do next?
