I've had issues with Andor detectors getting stuck during multiple acquisition scans (no issue observed with older versions of the driver R2-4 ~2018).
This problem happens randomly, i.e not always for the same acquisition count, but on error it always displays the 'Acquire' flag ON with the detector status 'Idle'.
Investigating the problem in the driver with extra logs, I noticed a synchronization issue between the status thread and the data thread, where a new acquisition could be triggered by the scan-generating client before the detector status had been reset to idle.
To overcome this problem, I've tried to prevent the acquisition to complete before the detector status had been updated.
Would you please be able to have a look at it please and let me know your thoughts?
Many Thanks.
