I'd like to suggest that you use the 'operating-system-independent' EPICS routines rather than the vxWorks routines.  In that way your driver would be useable on other platforms as well.

Have a look at the APS Event System module in http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/download/modules/index.php for an example of an R3.13, vxWorks-only driver that has been converted to R3.14, operating-system-independent.  This driver is being used at the APS on RTEMS ColdFire embedded IOCs with the complete APS event receiver in a Stratix II FPGA.

I suppose that I should also put in a recommendation that your base your driver on ASYN.   :-)

Hello fellow tech-talkers,
 
Apologies for not getting back to you earlier, many thanks for all the
smart suggestions concerning 'arrays in scripts'....problem solved.
 
I now have a problem setting up a timer in a driver, I used the functions
timer_create
timer_connect
timer_settime
When the interrupt occurs I get the error message...
