One further note: If you driver is based on asynPortDriver then you will often not be implementing the readInt32() method. The base class readInt32() method will return asynSuccess if and only if your driver has ever called setIntegerParam()
for that parameter. So if you don’t want output records to initialize then don’t call setIntegerParam() for that parameter in your constructor. Mark From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]
On Behalf Of Mark Rivers Hi Zen, Remember that standard asyn device support for output records does the following at iocInit: 1)
Attempts to read the current value from the asyn port driver 2)
If that read returns asynSuccess then the VAL field in the record is replaced by the one read from the driver 3)
If that return does not return asynSuccess then the VAL field is not modified This behavior is designed to support “bumpless reboots”. I suspect your driver is returning asynSuccess on a call to asynInt32->read() at iocInit. If you want to preserve the value of the VAL field from the database file then your driver must not return asynSuccess. Mark From:

On Behalf Of Szalata, Zenon M. Hi, I am a bit confused by the following behavior. I am using EPICS R3.14.12.2 and asyn R4.20. I have a simple longout record: record( longout, "$(P):$(N):LO:BTOI:NCOEF"){ field( DESC, "N Coefs:") field( DTYP, "asynInt32") field( OUT, "@asyn($(PORT),$(N),1)LO_NCOEF") field( VAL, "2") field( PINI, "1") } After this record is done initializing, caget on it gives me 0. I have introduced another record as follows: record( longout, "$(P):$(N):LO:NCOEF"){ field( DESC, "N Coefs:") field( VAL, "2") field( OUT, "$(P):$(N):LO:BTOI:NCOEF PP") field( PINI, "1") } record( longout, "$(P):$(N):LO:BTOI:NCOEF"){ field( DESC, "N Coefs:") field( DTYP, "asynInt32") field( OUT, "@asyn($(PORT),$(N),1)LO_NCOEF") # field( VAL, "2") # field( PINI, "1") } With these two records the second one now has the correct value. Why does the single record solution lose its VAL value? Thanks in advance, Zen |
