But why is it only reporting for the first of the four channels?
Could it be that for that ASYN_MULTIDEVICE the callbacks are somehow all counted for the first channel?

Pretty clueless,

Hi Pawel,

What is the SCAN field of your waveform record?  I suspect it is probably periodic ("1 second", etc.).  For this application you should set it to SCAN="I/O Intr".  Then the waveform record will process each time your driver does a callback to device support.  If the record is periodically processing at 1 second and your driver is doing callbacks faster than 1 Hz then you will see the error you report.

Subject: [AsynPortDriver] "Multiple interrupt callbacks between processing" warning with multiple arrays

Hi,

I've recently written asyn-based device support for a custom device
communicating over PCIe. One of its functions is to periodically
retrieve 4 waveforms from 4 channels, which is done in a separate
thread, from which the callback function is called to notify asyn about
change. I heavily based the code on the AsynPortDriver example.
The driver works, however if the update rate is lower than 1 second,
strange warning appears in the console at the time of every refresh (and
that's only for one of 4 channels), namely:

devAsynFloat64Array::processCommon, warning, multiple interrupt
callbacks between processing

The parameters passed to the top level constructor are
    : asynPortDriver(portName,
                     4, /* maxAddr */
                     (int)NUM_SCOPE_PARAMS,
                     asynInt32Mask | asynFloat64Mask |
asynFloat64ArrayMask | asynEnumMask | asynDrvUserMask, /* Interface mask
*/
                     asynInt32Mask | asynFloat64Mask |
asynFloat64ArrayMask | asynEnumMask,  /* Interrupt mask */
                     ASYN_MULTIDEVICE, /* asynFlags.  This driver does
not block and it is not multi-device, so flag is 0 */
                     1, /* Autoconnect */
                     0, /* Default priority */
                     0) /* Default stack size*/

The readback thread code:

void piezoPortDriver::readbackTask(void)
{
    while (1) {
            bool stopped = false;

            lock();
            auto new_data = osc->fetch_data(vtim, vdat);
            unlock();

            if (!stopped)
            {
                lock();
                this->osc_update_trigger();
                unlock();
            }
         callParamCallbacks();

         for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++){
           doCallbacksFloat64Array(vdat[i].data(), vdat[i].size(),
P_OscWaveform, i);
         }
         usleep(100000);
     }
}

The fetch_data method reads four 1000-element double vectors from PCIe.

Could you give me some suggestions what may be wrong?
