Thanks Kay. That worked. I can now get the NTNDArray. I still have to use wrapUnsafe rather than wrap, ...but it works.

Another mystery:
When I call myarray.getValue() it returns a PVUnion. somehow the PVUnion knows that the data is ushort[] uint[] or whatever type the image data is.
How do we ask the PVUnion what data type it is?


For the following you will want to add the import
import org.epics.pvdata.pv.*;

Try the following  starting with line 85
PVUnion pvu = myarray.getValue();
PVScalarArray pvarray = pvu.getField(PVScalarArray.class);
ScalarType scalarType= pvarray.getScalarArray().getElementType();
switch (scalarType) {
            case pvByte: {
                PVByteArray pv = (PVByteArray)pvarray;
               ...  // details left to reader!!!
                break;
            }
            case pvShort: {
               ...
                break;
            }
            case pvInt: {
                ...
                break;
            }
            case pvLong: {
                 ...
                break;
            }
            case pvUByte: {
                ...
                break;
            }
            case pvUShort: {
               ...
                break;
            }
            case pvUInt: {
                ...
                break;
            }
            case pvULong: {
               ...
                break;
            }
            case pvFloat: {
                ...
                break;
            }
            case pvDouble: {
                ...
                break;
            }
            default:
                throw new IllegalArgumentException("Unsupported scalarType  "
                        + scalarType.toString());
            }


Also to help you get going try the following starting with line 69
PVStructure pvs = easydata.getPVStructure();
System.out.println(pvs.getStructure());

In Eclipse I can trap on the code and see it is ushort, for my array, which is correct. But I cannot figure out
how my own code would know it i ushort. It must be the introspection interface? I have been mucking with with this....
I guess I use the convert utility to convert to a real Java tupe like int[]. But I have to know which Java type to use....

Thanks
Tim

Not sure how to request the entire normative type on pvget.

Try "field()" as the request to get all fields:

   pvget -r "field()" ...

Same when you assemble request in Java:

  PVStructure read_request = CreateRequest.create().createRequest("field()");
  ... channel.createMonitor(.., read_request);
