No, there is no limit, just set EPICS_CA_MAX_ARRRAY_BYTES.  We are sending 16MB images over CA with no problem.
 
Amd 16K of doubles is not 1K values, it is 2K.  A double takes 8 bytes on every architecture I know of.

Is there still a limit on the length of arrays?
I understand that the client and ioc needs to be configured with
EPICS_CA_MAX_ARRAY_BYTES

Note that the number of bytes is not the numbers of values.
16K of double variables is only 1K values....

is this still a limitation in 3.14.11?
