We have used stream device from DELTA control system to talk to the Varian controller.

Subject: device support routines for RS232

Dear all,

 

I am developing the device support routines for RS232 Varian Multi-Gauge controller. I use the drivers drvIpac, drvVipc616.c and tyGSOctal.c. Before getting any response(value) from the controller it has to send some commands and I hope to use standard records ai/mbbi/stringin/stringout instead of writing a new record. How to attach the string command("#aa02cnt") in Ai record field to read the pressure? Is it possible that I can share somebody's experience in order to find a suitable way?

 

Any suggestion are appreciated,
