Re: pilatus3 6m readCamserver timeout init

[Mark Rivers via Tech-talk <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

Hi Keith,

Have you checked on the status of camserver, and perhaps tried restarting it?  We run camserver under procServe so we can connect to it from any terminal, and so we can have a log file.

Subject: pilatus3 6m readCamserver timeout init

 

This morning our Pilatus stopped responding to control through the IOC and after restarting the entirety of the system, I’ve noticed that it hangs during the initialization, due to a readCamserver timeout of varying lengths. After the PVs connect there is a long incessantly updating string of messages like this:

 

2026/03/20 09:53:01.890 pilatusDetector:readCamserver, timeout=1.000000, status=1 received 0 bytes

 

2026/03/20 09:53:02.900 pilatusDetector:readCamserver, timeout=1.000000, status=1 received 0 bytes

 

2026/03/20 09:53:03.911 pilatusDetector:readCamserver, timeout=1.000000, status=1 received 0 bytes

 

2026/03/20 09:53:08.925 pilatusDetector:readCamserver, timeout=5.000000, status=1 received 0 bytes

 

CA client library is unable to contact CA repeater after 50 tries.

Silence this message by starting a CA repeater daemon

or by calling ca_pend_event() and or ca_poll() more often.

2026/03/20 09:54:58.945 pilatusDetector:readCamserver, timeout=110.000000, status=1 received 0 bytes

 

2026/03/20 09:55:03.957 pilatusDetector:readCamserver, timeout=5.000000, status=1 received 0 bytes

 

2026/03/20 09:55:08.971 pilatusDetector:readCamserver, timeout=5.000000, status=1 received 0 bytes

 

2026/03/20 09:55:09.983 pilatusDetector:readCamserver, timeout=1.000000, status=1 received 0 bytes

 

If I attempt to start an acquisition through the medm it will tell me there’s a timeout waiting for camserver response or it will hang indefinitely while collecting with status “waiting for 70K response” and to camserver saying “gapfil -1”

 

I have active link lights on the NICs for the ppu and dcu and I’m able to SSH to both without trouble. I did notice the link lights for the two ethernet cables from the Pilatus to the DCU are static, but I’m not sure if that’s abnormal.

 

If it’s useful here’s the rest of the startup scripting:
