Hi Brian,

The asyn driver does not have access to the record.  The driver only
talks to device support, and the device support talks to the record.

I don't think you can do what you want using standard asyn device
support.  But if you wrote your own device support for the mbbo record

(based on the mbbo support in devAsyn/devAsynInt32.c for example)

could use the asynOctet interface to query the driver for the enum

string values during initRecord, and set those enum string values in the
record.

What about adding a new method to asynUInt32Digital?

Then change devAsynUInt32Digital so that it supports the new method.

Also change asynUInt32DigitalBase so that it implements the new method

by returning failure. Thus no existing driver will fail.
