Dear All,
I want to create the following application in EPICS. I have a sixteen
channel industry pack ADC that I will be using in a VME crate with an
MVME162. EPICS version 3.13.10. I want to read the ADC at ~ 1.4 kHz and
record waveforms lasting 5 to 10 seconds. As this is faster then I can
imagine record processing taking place I assume I need to create device
support that creates a task which runs at 1.4 kHz, maintains data
buffers and periodically lets a waveform record (?) know that more data
is available (I'd like to be able to see some of the data before the
total acquisition is complete.)
Does anyone have code for something resembling this that I could look at?
Thanks,
