Yes, that is true.  callParamCallbacks() only does the callbacks to device support if the value set by setXXXParam has changed since the last time callParamCallbacks() was called.  As you observed the only way to force a callback at present is to write a dummy value and then the desired value before calling callParamCallbacks().

Thank you for your response, and sorry for not getting back to you sooner.

I found that when I toggled the passed to ADStatus (alternating from 3 to 4 and back), the caget read the new value.  It looks like it only updates on change.
