Subject: Changing the Timeout for drvAsynSerialPort?

Hi all,

Question is: How can I changed the timeout for drvAsynSerialPort?
Context follows (maybe I'm asking the wrong question):

I've been working through a tutorial* with few modifications.  So far no problems until I try to initiate communication with a Stanford Research Systems PS365 HV supply.  When I run ./st.cmd, everything says it initializes, but then I get a message saying that the ioc did not receive a response within 1 second.  The exact error(s) are:

2014/12/10 17:31:18.937952 L0 ps365controlTestIDN: No reply from device within 1000 ms

2014/12/10 17:31:20.039439 L0 ps365controlTestIDNwf: No reply from device within 1000 ms


Further, if I query the ioc with "caget -S ps365controlTestIDNwf", I get this:

ps365controlTestIDNwf \003

CA.Client.Exception...............................................
    Warning: "Identical process variable names on multiple servers"
    Context: "Channel: "ps365controlTestIDNwf", Connecting to: 198.128.196.226:5064, Ignored: franklins-mbp.dhcp.lbl.gov:5064"
    Source File: ../cac.cpp line 1298
    Current Time: Wed Dec 10 2014 17:44:31.920218000

I can "manually" communicate with the device using a simple screen command.  I use the same port address with 9660/8/N/1 standard settings. It seems to take a second, maybe 2, to open the connection.  So my thought was that maybe I just need to have the asyn driver increase its timeout time to avoid this error.

I can't see a way to change the timeout, however.


My st.cmd is given below:

#!../../bin/darwin-x86/ps365controlTest
