Hello,

I have a self-produced thermocouple and I connect to this device by RS 232.
I want to read 6 different integers when I send "MEASC" command to the
device.

in thermo.proto file, if I define %s, I can read all data by stringin.

MEASC{
     out "MEASC";
     in "%s";
}

Example:
2013/10/07 10:59:53.633 192.168.1.198:9001 <http://192.168.1.198:9001>
write 6
MEASC\n
2013/10/07 10:59:53.647 192.168.1.198:9001 <http://192.168.1.198:9001>
read 8
029 030 029 028 028 028

But I want to take all 6 datas in integer format. I search the
streamdevice documentation and I found the following line.

There several possibilities to do this.

MEASC{
     out "MEASC";
     array_in {separator=" "; in "%d";}
}

But it doesn't work. I got the following error.

No that does not work. What you wanted to do is:
MEASC{
    separator=" ";
    out "MEASC";
    in "%d";
}

But then you get an array of 6 values. Maybe you want to have the 6

values in separate records. You can do this using redirected input:

MEASC{
    out "MEASC";

 in "%d %(\1:TEMP2)d %(\1:TEMP3)d %(\1:TEMP4)d %(\1:TEMP5)d

%(\1:TEMP6)d";

}

Called from a record like this:
record (ai, "$(P):TEMP1") {
    field (DTYP, "stream)
    field (INP,  "@thermo.proto MEASC($(P)) $(PORT)")
}

And 5 passive records like this:
record (ai, "$(P):TEMP2") {
}
record (ai, "$(P):TEMP3") {
}
record (ai, "$(P):TEMP4") {
}
record (ai, "$(P):TEMP5") {
}
record (ai, "$(P):TEMP5") {
}

Note that the 5 passive records have no "stream" support (in fact they

use "Soft Channel" or if you wish you can use "Raw Soft Channel").
