RE:Compress Record with input from partial Waveform

[GAGET Alexis via Tech-talk <tech-talk@aps.anl.gov>]

Hi Bruno

I would have tried to play on the Input instead, trying to replace the waveform by a subArray or adding it between the compress and the waveform. The subArray NELM can be modified online so you can maybe defined it with the "fix amount per run" (if you know it)

Something like that :

record(waveform, "WVF") {
    field(FTVL, "DOUBLE")
    field(NELM, "50")
}

record (calcout, "plouf"){
    field(INPA, "MyFixAmout CPP")
    field(VAL, "A")
    field(OUT, "SubA.NELM PP")   

}

record(subArray, "SubA") {
    field(INP, "WVF CPP")
    field(FTVL, "DOUBLE")
    field(NELM, "5")
    field(MALM, "100")
}

record(compress, "CMP") {

    field(ALG,  "Circular Buffer")

    field(INP,  "SubA CP")
    field(NSAM, "100")
}

Not sure that's work, it's by memory, so consider it as a lead

Cheers

Alexis

Objet : Compress Record with input from partial Waveform

Hi folks,

Is there a way to force compress to take only NORD elements from its INP waveform? I have a big waveform that only has some of its data initialized (a fixed amount per "run"), and I want to accumulate this initialized data in a circular buffer. Has anyone made something similar work? Do I need to interpose an acalcout between the two (which I tried but didn't seem to work)?

Please see example below.

Thanks!

Bruno

$ cat test.db

record(waveform, "WVF") {
    field(FTVL, "DOUBLE")
    field(NELM, "50")
}

record(compress, "CMP") {

    field(ALG,  "Circular Buffer")

    field(INP,  "WVF CP")
    field(NSAM, "100")
}

$ softIoc -d test.db
