If you’re willing to upgrade to EPICS 7 recent versions of the PVA modules included with it are significantly more robust and reliable than the stand-alone versions that worked with Base 3.x, and there’s less work setting them up. I would recommend upgrading, especially for recent AreaDetector versions (which might not build with the older V4 code anyway).

Hi,

EPICS V3 doesn’t include V4 modules. They must be downloaded separately from http://epics-pvdata.sourceforge.net/index.html (https://sourceforge.net/projects/epics-pvdata/files/ )

Best regards,
Matic

Subject: defining a path of PVA for EPICS base 3.x

Hi,

I am using the following versions.

EPICS base-3.15.6
asyn4-37
areaDetector-R3-9
ADCore-R3-9

There is a way to define the path of 'PVA' for those who use prior to EPICS base 7.
The following shows an example for EPICS V4. I couldn't find a corresponding folder or files in EPICS base-3.15.6.
Do I have to upgrade?
_________________________________________________________________________
# If CONFIG_SITE.local defines WITH_PVA=YES and EPICS_BASE is prior to 7.0 then define the path here
# If using EPICS_BASE 7.0 or later the PVA files are in base itself and no additional definitions are needed.
#PVA=/corvette/usr/local/epics-devel/epicsV4/EPICS-CPP-4.6.0
# PVA modules
# For versions prior to EPICS base 7.0 use this
#PVCOMMON=$(PVA)/pvCommonCPP
#PVACCESS=$(PVA)/pvAccessCPP
#PVDATA=$(PVA)/pvDataCPP
#PVDATABASE=$(PVA)/pvDatabaseCPP
#NORMATIVETYPES=$(PVA)/normativeTypesCPP
-include $(AREA_DETECTOR)/configure/RELEASE_LIBS.local.$(EPICS_HOST_ARCH)
