Hi,

If the ArrayCounter is increasing, then aravisGigE should be producing frames. It could be that your NDStdArrays plugin is disabled? I'm also not sure which PV you mean when you say "FrameCounter".

The attached screenshot is of a working camera. Could you send me screenshots of the camera and NDStdArrays screens please?

Thanks,
Tom Cobb
