Hi Kaz,

4 NDPluginROI plugins are loaded in the example commonPlugins.cmd file.  You are free to edit that file to load more, or instantiate additional plugins in the st.cmd file in addition to those created in commonPlugins.cmd.  You will also need to modify the OPI screen to access the additional plugins.  Many sites customize what plugins are loaded, either not loaded unused plugins, loading additional instances of standard plugins, or loading new site-specific plugins they have written.

Those communication errors with the LabView socket server do not look correct.  I don't recall seeing those, but I only had the detector for a couple of weeks and so did not spend a lot of time testing it.

Is this a purchased unit or their loaner?

Mark

Dear all,

For Merlin Quad detector, I compiled ADMerlin with newest AreaDetector (2.5?), and things seem to work properly. However, for the current application, we need 6 ROI regions, but AD provides only 4 ROI regions. Would increasing number of ROI regions to 6 in areaDetector be standardized?

2. I am also seeing the "labview" messages in the ioc which may or may not be important.I am wondering if this is anything to worry about???
