When you say "lower than 1 second" do you mean the time between
callbacks in your driver is less than 1 second, i.e. the usleep()
value is less than 1000000?
Exactly, value below 1000000 (well, actually I can get down to 600000 without warnings) in usleep results in warnings. Maybe it's a matter of speed, the machine that runs the IOC (and only the IOC, CSS is running on a separate computer) is not the fastest one, but our Qt application for this device is able to achieve update rate of ~100 ms at the same time drawing plot, so I think period in the range of 100-150 ms should be achievable here.

Now when I added asynSetTraceMask for the "missing" channels 1-3 now it reports this warning for all variables.

Kind regards,
Paweł

The record definition and dbpr output looks OK to me.

In your original post you said:

strange warning appears in the console at the time of every refresh

When you say "lower than 1 second" do you mean the time between

(and  that's only for one of 4 channels), namely:

Is the output coming because you have enabled some asynTrace?

2017/04/11 15:42:08.682 PIEZO:OSC-CH0-WAVEFORM
devAsynFloat64Array::processCommon, warning, multiple interrupt callbacks between processing

Are you saying that this warning message only happens on the first
waveform record, not on all of them?  That message is printed with
this code in devAsynXXXArray.h:

            if (pPvt->gotValue) {
                            \
                asynPrint(pPvt->pasynUser, ASYN_TRACE_WARNING,
                            \
                    "%s %s::processCommon, "
                            \
                    "warning: multiple interrupt callbacks between
processing\n",                  \
                     pr->name, driverName);
                            \
            }
                            \

Note that it is printed with the ASYN_TRACE_WARNING mask.  How have
you called asynSetTraceMask in your startup script?  Is it possible
you set it like this?

asynSetTraceMask(testAPD, 0, 255)

If so that would explain why you are only seeing the messages for the
first waveform record.  The asynTrace is specific to the asyn address,
and this only enables asynTrace on address 0.  To see the messages
from all 4 waveform records you can do this:

asynSetTraceMask(testAPD, -1, 255)

or this

asynSetTraceMask(testAPD, 0, 255)
asynSetTraceMask(testAPD, 1, 255)
asynSetTraceMask(testAPD, 2, 255)
asynSetTraceMask(testAPD, 3, 255)

This would not explain why you are getting the messages in the first
place, but it would explain why you are only seeing them for the first
waveform record.

Subject: Re: [AsynPortDriver] "Multiple interrupt callbacks between

Hi Mark,

thanks for quick answer. Actually I forgot to post the record, but it
had SCAN set to I/O INTR, similarly to the example project. Here's the
record definition:

record(waveform, "PIEZO:OSC-CH$(CHANNEL)-WAVEFORM")
{
     field(DTYP, "asynFloat64ArrayIn")
     field(INP,  "@asyn($(PORT),$(ADDR),$(TIMEOUT))OSC_WAVEFORM")
     field(FTVL, "DOUBLE")
     field(NELM, "$(NPOINTS)")
     field(LOPR, "0")
     field(HOPR, "10")
     field(SCAN, "I/O Intr")
}

As for the commands you asked for, the results are, respectively:

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:

2017/04/11 15:42:08.682 PIEZO:OSC-CH0-WAVEFORM

                     (int)NUM_SCOPE_PARAMS,

                     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?
