Is this in a running IOC? If so there is probably an EPICS record that controls the data type. That record could define the value in the database file, or it could be restored from autosave?

Hi,

I'm extending asynNDArrayDriver and setting the NDDataType parameter to NDInt16 (enum 2) in constructor of my class (I can see this is happening in the gdb).
When I get into acquireArrays() (copy paste from ADCSimulator ADExample code) the NDDataType parameter is for some reason NDUInt16 (enum 3).
Why would that happen? My code is not touching the NDDataType parameter anywhere else than in constructor.

Thanks,
Hinko
