Yes, 07G-ECD-BL08 shows up in a lot of the database files.  I'll set about changing those and see if that helps.
Thanks all

James, 

Port 8003 is correct on this one.  This is mostly based upon genesys IOC that I got from Stephanie Allison at SLAC.  

The problem is most likely that your start up command is calling device called "GEN8-180-88Z" (which is what the Genesys that STAR HFT has), where as somehow, it is expecting "07G-ECD-BL08" (which I don't know where it come from).  You may want to double-check the db and dbd files.  I seem to remember something of that. 

I will check a bit more in detail on what I have on the test machine at Creighton...

I believe it uses TCP (it communicates via an ethernet connection).  Below is my start up script.  I got this IOC after it had been compiled on another machine, so it is quite possible I missed changing something.

#!../../bin/linux-x86/genesys

cd ../..

dbLoadDatabase("dbd/genesys.dbd")
genesys_registerRecordDeviceDriver(pdbbase)

## Location of stream protocol files
epicsEnvSet "STREAM_PROTOCOL_PATH", "iocBoot/soft-iocps/"

dbLoadRecords("db/genesysPSAll.db")

drvAsynIPPortConfigure("GEN8-180-88Z", "130.199.60.184:8003",0,0,0)


iocInit()

# Start sequences
seq(&psControl,"ps=GEN8-180-88Z")

I know the IP is right for the drvAsynIPPortConfigure, but I don't know if 8003 is correct.

Thank you

James

Can you explain the interface to the power supply?  It is serial, TCP, etc.

How have you configured the asyn port?

Can you send your startup script?

Subject: genesys power supply IOC

Hello all,
I'm trying to set up an IOC for a genesys power supply.  It compiles, but when I try to run st.cmd I get the following errors (showing up in red after iocInit):

2013/04/22 09:37:58.974089 _main_ Businterface '07G-ECD-BL08' not found for '07G-ECD-BL08:Curr'
2013/04/22 09:37:58.974603 _main_ 07G-ECD-BL08:Curr: Can't attach to bus 07G-ECD-BL08 -1
2013/04/22 09:37:58.974715 _main_ 07G-ECD-BL08:Curr: Record initialization failed
Segmentation fault

I'm using asyn version 4.21, StreamDevice version 2.6, epics 3.14.12.1, and sequencer 2.0.12.

From what I've been able to find, this seems to be a problem between StreamDevice and asyn.  I originally had aysn 4.13 before getting 4.21 and trying that.  Neither solved the issue though.  Anyone have any experience with this kind of issue?
Thanks!
James
