Should be a my mistake because if I use the pvget with the specific parameter it work:
developer@e058f4bc2090:/workspace$ pvget -p ca -r "field(field,timeStamp,alarm)" ca:variable:a
ca:variable:a structure
alarm_t alarm
int severity 0
int status 0
string message
time_t timeStamp 2023-05-05 19:22:59.521
long secondsPastEpoch 1683314579
int nanoseconds 521323913
int userTag 0
I am digging into it.
Anyway, thank you for point me in the right direction

I fixed the error reported by Sinisa (the reference to other channel for the sum)
I changed the pv name and not I’m trying to get data from ca:variable:a(below) could be some problem on c++ layer of pvData?
I done:
caput
ca:variable:a.PROC 1
caput
ca:variable:a.PROC 1
and the I got:
structure
double value 1
alarm_t alarm
int severity 0
int status 0

double limitLow 0
double limitHigh 0
string description
string format F6.0

Hi Claudio,
Please try running the command
caput
ca:variable:sum.PROC 1
and then run your client again. I suspect that the timestamp of your CALC record is still undefined i.e. 0,0 and that's why it isn't getting displayed.

Hi yes sure:
This is my code:
auto ca_provider = std::make_unique<pvac::ClientProvider>("ca", epics::pvAccess::ConfigurationBuilder().push_env().build());
auto channel = std::make_shared<pvac::ClientChannel>(provider.connect(pv_name, opt));

I need to specify that I connect to a IOCs launched with “sofIOC -d xyz.db” this si the content of the DB:

I am not sure I understand what is going on. Perhaps you could include your code so we can see what exactly you are trying to do?
Also, if you'd like to get all fields, the string 'field()' or just empty string '' should work:
>>> print(c.get('field()'))
string[] choices [Off, On]
long secondsPastEpoch 1683129086
int nanoseconds 834120910

I tried to set request field as:
pvd::createRequest("field(value, timeStamp, alarm, display, control, valueAlarm)
but I didn’t get the timeStamp Field in PVStructure. The request field work well for all other (for CA provider) for the PVA provider, instead, I always got every field also if I put only “filed(value)”
in the request.
I’m wrong somenting….
Claudio
Hi,
Thank you for yor help, is effect on get operation I use the default request, so Iat this point I need to use
pvd::createRequest("field(value, timeStamp, alarm, display, control, valueAlarm)")); to retrieve all field
I’ll give a try!
Thank you very much.
Claudio
I am not sure exactly why is there a difference in behavior between caget and pvget, but you should be able to get timestamps if you request them explicitly:
$ caget -a S01-DAQTBT:Strm:DataCaptureC
S01-DAQTBT:Strm:DataCaptureC 2023-05-03 10:51:26.834121 Off
PV request string like field(value,timeStamp) should work from C++:
>>> from pvapy import *
>>> c = Channel('S01-DAQTBT:Strm:DataCaptureC', CA)
>>> print(c.get('field(value,timeStamp)'))
string[] choices [Off, On]
long secondsPastEpoch 1683129086

Hello EPICS tech,
I'm working with last epics release and I have notice that making a get operation for an IOC using a CA provider for crete a pvac::ClientChannel I don't receive the timestamp field:
I noticed that also the official caget has the problem:
developer@e058f4bc2090:/workspace$ pvget variable:sum
variable:sum 2023-05-05 16:34:54.607 3
developer@e058f4bc2090:/workspace$ caget variable:sum
variable:sum 3
so is a client library problem or a server or something else?
Thank
you in advance.
Claudio
