Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

Hi EPICS folks,

      I’m running caget and caput utility functions from cygwin and DOS on a Windows XP system to get and put data to a VxWorks IOC on the same subnet. I would like to know if there is some option to help speed up the execution of these utility functions. For both sets of utility functions, the majority of the execution time (4-5 seconds) seems to be spent running the ca_context_destroy function at the end. I don’t see this delay when running caget and caput functions to get and put data to a Soft IOC running on the same Windows XP computer. I don’t understand why there is such a delay just to clean up at the end.

 

     I’m using epics base v3-14-11 for cygwin and EPICS WIN32 Extensions Version 1.40 (Build 40) for DOS.

 

Thanks,

Jay Steele
