I want to read out a VME memory board using a waveform record.
The VME memory board is located at 0x006c0000. I want to readout 100
unsigned long elements beginning at the memory board's base location.
In a response from Rozelle Wright, I found out that this problem
has been solved by Andrew Johnson. Below is a message from Andrew Johnson
regarding the enhanced vxWorks variable support package. Does there exist
a version for R3.13 and has it been tested with R3.13?

Message-Id: <[email protected]>
I've recently completed some changes to William Lupton's enhanced vxWorks
Variable device support routines, including adding support for waveform
records. The enhancements should be transparent as far as anyone using
either the original EPICS device support or William's modified version.
With the new version, if the variable name is an indirect reference, with
or without an array index (e.g. *pVariable or *pArray[5] ) then the
indirection now occurs at record-processing time rather than record
initialisation.
Support for waveform records allows a C array of any of the standard types
to be imported into the database. As with the support for strings, an
array index in the variable name controls how far into the array the first
element of the array is read from.
The new versions of the device support files are available at
ftp://ftp.ast.cam.ac.uk/pub/anj/devSymb.tar.Z
For details of the functionality read William's comments at the beginning
of devSymbFind.c
