Subject: RE: question about ca_get, ca_pend_io timeout in EPICS client with Windows XP multi-threading

Hi all,
    I am currently executing a ca_put command to set a VAL field for a asyn motor record, then using the ca_pend_io function to wait until the command was sent out. I use other ca_get_callback commands to monitor the DMOV and MSTA fields to determine when the move has completed. I thought at first that I could use ca_put_callback and a callback function to indicate that the command was sent out, but the actual behavior is different - the callback function indicates when the motion is finished.

    My program works okay for now using ca_put and then ca_pend_io to set the VAL field for asyn motor records.

Cheers,

Oops, my mistake, it's ages (10 years?) since I've actually used a motor
record, so I'm happy to be corrected.

Maybe Jay could explain what information he's actually wanting to get, and the
other motor experts here can tell him how to achieve that.
