Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System

Hi,

In areaDetector, for when we append NDAttribute data to NDArray objects, we have a class that can set up monitors on PVs. When a monitor event happens we record the data for use by the next NDArray object. However, we were setting a monitor callback handler for every connection event. This can result in multiple monitors being setup if the IOC that hosts the PV being monitored has been restarted a few times (resulting in a multiple connection events in the areaDetector IOC).

I was able to fix this in the same was as camonitor.c handles this, by using a flag to indicate that we’ve already connected (and set up a monitor) to a PV. Is this the most appropriate method to handle this? In the CA reference manual I see that there are functions like ca_clear_channel() and ca_clear_subscription() that we could possibly use on a disconnection event.

Cheers,
Matt
