I am adding support for an incremental counter from ADDI-DATA, using asynPortDriver.

Thanks for the feedack!

Subject: Re: asyn: what if a driver wants to force callbacks?

To my knowledge,
there is no update.
In our driver, we do it like this:

     /* If not moving, trigger a record processing at low rate */
     if (!nowMoving) setDoubleParam(pC_->motorPosition_, newPositionInSteps + 1);
     setDoubleParam(pC_->motorPosition_, newPositionInSteps);

And I added a test case:

Out of curiosity:
Which kind of device are you using ?
