The first thing I notice is that the "reply mask" from your INP field is set to INTEGER:, but that won't work parsing the reply string of "INTEGER: off(0)" because "off(0)" isn't an integer. Try using '(' as your mask:

field( INP,  "@$(CRATE) %{WCR}outputSwitch.$(CH) ( 100")

Whether that's what's causing your problem with dbpf to the .PROC I don't know, but it is a problem.

Hey,

yes both records show up, when I run the `dbl` command.
Also there is no error message at initialization.

I've just noticed, that the record seems to update correctly but with a READ_ALARM. The record bo/longout combination for setting WIENER-CRATE-MIB::outputSwitch.u0 is working fine...

Concerning the mb/bi/o/direct records: for thinks like the switch on/off stuff it would be nice...(since you don't need the additional longin/out record anymore) originally I also wanted to use mbbiDirect for the outputStatus, but this has 20 bits, so in this case one needs the longin/calc records anyway...

Best regards,
Florian

I might be a little slow helping debug it, I'm away from work until July 10. Do the PV names you're trying to access show up in a 'dbl' command? If so, what shows up when you have the snmp driver do a dump of them? For example:

snmpr 2 PANDA:LMD:MUPIX:LV:TEST:ReadSwitchOnOff

will do a level-2 debug dump of PV/oid info.

The reason we don't support mbbo/i/direct (yet, anyway) is simply because the old snmp driver we based on version on didn't support it and we've never yet needed it. It's something we could add if there's demand for it (and time is available, you know how that goes).

Hey John, hey all,

we have a Wiener PL506 low voltage power supply in our lab controlled via SNMP. I tried using the devSnmp module from NSCL (https://groups.nscl.msu.edu/controls/)
Nearly everything is working just fine, except for two records:

record (longin, "PANDA:$(subsys):$(dev):LV:$(sector):ReadSwitchOnOff") {
  field( DTYP, "Snmp")
  field( INP,  "@$(CRATE) %{WCR}outputSwitch.$(CH) INTEGER: 100")
}
record (longin, "PANDA:$(subsys):$(dev):LV:$(sector):ReadRegulationMode__" ) {
  field( DTYP, "Snmp" )
field( INP, "@$(CRATE) %{WCR}outputRegulationMode.$(CH) INTEGER: 100" )
}

$(CRATE) is the IP-Address of the PL506, %{WCR} = "guru WIENER-CRATE-MIB::"
and $(CH) is "u0".

When I try to process these records, I get the following error:

epics> dbpf PANDA:LMD:MUPIX:LV:TEST:ReadSwitchOnOff.PROC 1
filename="../dbTest.c" line number=375
No such file or directory - dbPutField error

Any idea what's goning wrong here?

Another question to John: Is there a particular reason why e.g. mbbi/o(Direct) or bi/o records are not supported by devSnmp?

Best regards,
Florian
