If your detector supports binning then you need to handle ADBinX in your derived class writeInt32() method.

Here is an example from ADProsilica:

/** Called when asyn clients call pasynInt32->write().
  * This function performs actions for some parameters, including ADAcquire, ADBinX, etc.
  * For all parameters it sets the value in the parameter library and calls any registered callbacks..
  * \param[in] pasynUser pasynUser structure that encodes the reason and address.
  * \param[in] value Value to write. */
asynStatus prosilica::writeInt32(asynUser *pasynUser, epicsInt32 value)
{
    int function = pasynUser->reason;
    int status = asynSuccess;
    tPvUint32 syncs;
    static const char *functionName = "writeInt32";

    /* Set the parameter and readback in the parameter library.  This may be overwritten when we read back the
     * status at the end, but that's OK */
    status |= setIntegerParam(function, value);

    if ((function == ADBinX) ||
        (function == ADBinY) ||
        (function == ADMinX) ||
        (function == ADSizeX) ||
        (function == ADMinY) ||
        (function == ADSizeY)) {
        /* These commands change the chip readout geometry.  We need to cache them and apply them in the
         * correct order */
        status |= setGeometry();

Subject: Area Detector base class parameters

I have been reviewing the Area Detector code and examining the interface between C and EPICS.  I am not clear on how parameters from the base class are sent to the detector.  For example, the parameter ADBinX is handled by ADDriver::writeInt32(), but nothing in that function actually outputs the new value to the device.  Where is the transmission occurring?

Thank you,

Iain Marcuson.
