Thank you for the help.

- Sending a string from the asynRecord.edl screen gave me the error message same as the error message I got from caput.

- The .ERRS field contains 100 zero's and these values do not change as I tried to caput on the record's AOUT field.

- dbpr command gave no data pointing to the problem.

- "asynSetTraceMask sockserv 0 0xff" generated the following message on the iocsh screen:
sockserv -1 exception 3 occurred calling exceptionUser
sockserv -1 exception 3 occurred calling exceptionUser
LS450PS:asyn: exception 3


- caput again on the LS450PS:asyn.AOUT field gave the same error message as before.

At the point, I don't know the problem yet.

Thanks,
William Lu

I am not sure what the problem is, but here are some ways to find out:

- Load the medm screen for the asyn record (asynRecord.adl).  You can
then interactively send commands to the port and observe the response
and any error status.

- The asyn record has an error string field (.ERRS) which may contain
useful information.

- Execute the following iocsh command to get all the record field
values:
dbpr LS450PS:asyn 5

- Enable all debugging on that asyn port with the following iocsh
commands

asynSetTraceIOMask sockserv 0 0x2
asynSetTraceMask sockserv 0 0xff

Then do your caput again or type in the asyn records .AOUT text widget
and see if there is useful information in the output.

I am having problems with channel access writes on asyn record's writable fields such AOUT and PORT. I created the following asyn tcp/ip

port and the asyn record:

In a startup iocsh script:
  drvAsynIPPortConfigure("sockserv","127.0.0.1:9099",0,0,0)

The asyn record:
  record(asyn, LS450PS:asyn) {
  field(DTYP, "asynRecordDevice")
  field(PORT, "sockserv")
  field(ADDR,"0")
}

After the record has been loaded to the ioc, I cannot write the AOUT or PORT fields of the record through channel access. When I caput on those

fields, I got the error messages like the following:

>caput LS450PS:asyn.AOUT "abc"
Old : LS450PS:asyn.AOUT
CA.Client.Diagnostic..............................................
Message: "Could not perform a database value put for that channel"
Severity: "Warning" Context: "detected by: devl17.acc.jlab.org:5064 for: LS450PS:asyn - with request chan=LS450PS:asyn.AOUT op=1 data type=DBR_STRING count=1"
..................................................................
New : LS450PS:asyn.AOUT


What is the problem? Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
