Hi,
StreamDevice does not come with its own configure directory. If you have ever
used makeBaseApp, you should already have a configure directory. You will most
probably have customized your RELEASE file. StreamDevice does not try to
overwrite your configure settings.
Just unpack the tar file in parallel to the configure directory makeBaseApp
created for you.
From the StreamDevice Documentation, chapter "Setup":
Up to release R3.14.8.2, a fix in EPICS base is required to build StreamDevice on Windows (not cygwin). In src/iocsh/iocsh.h, add the following line and rebuild base.
epicsShareFunc int epicsShareAPI iocshCmd(const char *command);

Is there also a problem with the missing iocshCmd for other OS than Windows? In
that case I will modify the documentation.

All,
I actually see a strange behavior when I use the Raw Converter.
So far, I have been using StreamDevice in SynApps-5_2.
So now, I would like to reinstall the latest and greatest of
StreamDevice, a.k.a StreamDevice-2-3
Is there an install file hidden somewhere? I couldn't find it!
Apparently the tar.gz archive needs to be installed in epics-base, to be
able to find the configure directory. But there again, it doesn't fully
compile (iocshCmd linking error)... I am probably doing something wrong.
Where are the install instructions for StreamDevice?
Thank you,

Hello all,
I am using stream and a 16 bit word to convert to an unsigned integer (0
to 64xxx). The unsigned integer is coded on 2 characters.
So I use the raw converter and particularly %2.2r
But with that converter then the integer is signed (as mentioned in the
doc). So I can read values between 0 to 32767 and -32768 to -1.
Is there a way to use unsigned integer with the raw converter or do I
have to write my own converter?
Looking at the RawConverter.cc code, I am afraid that I will have to

write my own...
