Because database puts write the new data into the waveform buffer before the device support read_wf function is called when the record subsequently processes(by process passive), you can just have the read_wf write to the hardware.

I am writing support for an arbitrary waveform generator (Joerger Model
VDACM 8 channel, 16-bit, 100kHz, waveform generator with 32k memory per
channel).

Is there an EPICS record which is appropriate for such a device? The aao
record seems like a possibility, but a search of tech-talk archives from
1996 and 2000 revealed a number of problems with this record which don't
appear to have been incorporated into later releases (looking at
aaoRecord.c from R3.13.10).

The waveformRecord is close, but is designed for readback, not output like
I need for this device. The gensub record may be a way to deal with it, if
necessary.

Is anyone using a similar device, and if so, what record are you using?
Also, any suggestions on user interface for loading and modifying
waveforms?

Thanks,
