Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

Hi All,

I am doing an experiment about global event timing system with the source code from this websitehttp://epics.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/epics/applications/trunk/mrfEventSystem/ ,my target is mvme5100 and server is RHEL4 with a vxWorks5.5.1 cross-compiler environment,the hardware is Event Generator 230 and Event Receiver 230.First I want to use mrfApp application to achieve the basic function of the timing system,but when loading the startup script,errors occur.It seems that he record/device support for EVG can't be recognized,while the supports for EVR are all right. 

 

The error information is :

In additional :

epicsExportAddress (rset, egRSET);
[wanglin@timinglinux1 src]$ grep epicsExportAddress egeventRecord.c
epicsExportAddress (rset, egeventRSET);
[wanglin@timinglinux1 src]$ grep epicsExportAddress devMrfEg.c
epicsExportAddress (dset, devEg);
epicsExportAddress (dset, devEgEvent);
[wanglin@timinglinux1 src]$ grep epicsExportAddress drvMrfEg.c
epicsExportAddress (drvet, drvMrf200Eg);

 

 

I have checked the database definition and record/device support files,but cant't find any problems.Does anyone know what may result in such errors?

 

Thanks,

Wang Lin
