There are a few bugs in this distribution:
1) Scans hang during the first data point because in the database
"$(SHARE)/stdApp/Db/scan_3.1.db", the record that waits for
detectors to finish is wrongly configured:
grecord(wait,"$(P)Dwait_detectors") {
field(DESC,"1 = detectors done")
...
field(CALC,"(A)=0")
}
...should be...
grecord(wait,"$(P)Dwait_detectors") {
field(DESC,"0 = detectors done")
...
field(CALC,"A")
}
2) changePrefix313 works only on *unbuilt* directories. In the prebuilt
directory "xxx", PV-name prefixes currently have to be changed by hand.
3) The prebuilt Hideos IP-Octal serial support can't handle 300-baud.
(Nor can any hideos distribution I know of. Joe Sullivan and Kurt Goetze
fixed our copy of Hideos.)
I'm not going to make a practice of cluttering up tech-talk with this
kind of detail. From now on, patch information for the xfdApp
distribution will normally be posted only to the "beamline_controls"
email exploder, and periodically collected on the web page.
