Ben, Murali,

Any idea what the "numMonitoredChans 1 firstMonitorCount 0 assignCount 1 firstConnectCount 1" message is trying to tell me?

# Set ioc console prompt

Background:

I'm trying to reproduce the "sequence not getting its monitor callback" problem.  

I have 2600 sequences running:

lcls-zelazny bash:~/epics/ioc/SeqSupport/SeqSupportApp/src>cat SeqChecker.st
program SeqChecker

%%#include <string.h>      /* sprintf prototype */
%%#include <errlog.h>      /* errlogPrintf */

option +c;  /* All connections must be made before execution begins */
option +d;  /* Turn on runtime debug messages */
option +r;  /* All declarations private to this sequence */
option -a;  /* All pvGets must be synchronous */

int VAL;
assign VAL to "{pv}";
monitor VAL;

ss SeqCheckerss {

  state checking {

    when (0 == VAL) {

      errlogPrintf("%s failed to get its monitor.\n");
      epicsThreadSleep(60);

      } state checking

    }

}
lcls-zelazny bash:~/epics/ioc/SeqSupport/SeqSupportApp/src>   

The pv's are:

lcls-zelazny bash:~/epics/ioc/SeqSupport/SeqSupportApp/Db>cat SeqSupport.vdb
#! Generated by VisualDCT v2.6
#! DBDSTART
#! DBD("../../dbd/SeqSupport.dbd")
#! DBDEND

record(calc, "${pv}") {
  field(SCAN, "10 second")
  field(PINI, "YES")
  field(VAL, "1")
  field(CALC, "A + 1")
  field(INPA, "${pv}")
}

#! Further lines contain data used by VisualDCT
#! View(2000,2115,1.0)
#! Record("${pv}",2300,2254,0,1,"${pv}")
#! Field("${pv}.VAL",16777215,0,"${pv}.VAL")
#! Field("${pv}.INPA",16777215,0,"${pv}.INPA")
