I would gladly receive the examples. The file gensubrecord.h was not
delivered with the downloaded file
http://www.observatorysciences.co.uk/images/genSubV1-6.tar.gz, could you
sent me a copy if this file or isn't it necessary?

The sub record can't write.  I'd use the genSub record.

In this database, the sub record is reading from the waveform record.

VAL is the waveform record's array.  The sub record cannot read this because
it doesn't support an array data type.

I think your best move would be to install the genSub module and read the
documentation for this record.  It's a little complicated, but very capable.
You will be able to construct an array and write it to the waveform record.
Separately, you can write device support that will write the waveform
record's array to hardware.

Do you have any examples to work from?  If not, I could send you an example
of the genSub record doing some simple array stuff.  I have only one example
of a waveform record writing to hardware, and it's probably not a good
example
for your application, because the hardware is complicated and obtuse.
