Hi,
I am working on synchronising the timestamp on an IOC with a timestamp register on an FPGA. I need access to the 32 bit fixed point nanoseconds word that makes up the lower half of the EPICS
timestamp. Using the “Soft Timestamp” I can only get the value as a floating point number (using ai) or a string (using stringin).
Is there a way of getting it in the fixed point format I want? As I understand it “Soft Timestamp” only works with ai and stringin records. Ideally I’d like support for longin records as
well.
record(ai,"$(SYS)-EVR:EventTimestamp"){
field(DTYP,"Soft Timestamp")
field(TSEL,"$(SYS)-EVR:Event-14-SP.TIME")
}
The record is processed by a forward link from "$(SYS)-EVR:Event-14-SP”
Many thanks
Will
