Hi Tech-talk,
I'm using epics-3-14-11, mca-s55 to try to control a Struck (SIS) 3820 VME board. I'm using a PPC mother board running vxWorks.
I run the following in my startup script using the examples in mca-s55/iocBoot/iocVxWorks for SIS3820.
mcaSIS3820Setup(0xA0000000, 224, 6)
mcaSIS3820Config("mcaSIS3820/1", 0, 2048, 32, 2, 0, 1000000)
dbLoadTemplate("SIS3820_32.substitutions")
I get the following error after pmacVmeInit:
drvMcaSIS3820Asyn::drvUserCreate, unknown command=ACQUIRING
21:D3:BNP:scalar1:ReadCallback devAsynInt32::initCommon drvUserCreate
This error seems to come from the following in SIS3820_32.substitutions.
file "$(MCA)/SIS3820.db"
{
pattern
{P, INP}
{21:D3:BNP:scalar1:, "@asyn(mcaSIS3820/1 0)"}
}
and SIS3820.db:
record(ai,"$(P)ReadCallback") {
field(SCAN,"I/O Intr")
field(DTYP, "asynInt32")
field(INP, "$(INP)ACQUIRING")
field(FLNK, "$(P)ReadAll.PROC PP MS")
}
When I change "ACQUIRING" to "MCA_ACQUIRING" (based on a quick review of the source code), the script seems to work correctly. Is this the correct solution?
Also assuming that the correct command is "MCA_ACQUIRING" - when I run scaler32_full.adl to see the data from the SIS3820 board and have a signal generator generating a 3.3V pulse train at 25 Hz connected to input #9, I only
see the counts from the internal clock at input #1. Anybody have any hints on how to activate input #9? Attached is the screen shot from the MEDM screen.
Thanks,
Jay Steele
