• Each time the processor is turned on, the PVs is 0 for all outputs.

What do you mean by “the processor is turned on”?  Is something power-cycled, or are you just starting the IOC?

 

Please send the complete output when the IOC is first started with procServ and is not working correctly.

Dear, sir

I have a question about procServ starting an IOC.

When I run the IOC through ../../bin/linux-arm/SHINE st.cmd

all pvs run normally and output the correct results.

 

Then, I automatically start the IOC via procServ.

Each time the processor is turned on, the PVs is 0 for all outputs.

These pv variables are in ai or longin form and are output via setDoubleParam or setIntegerParam.

in SHINE.db:

record(ai, "$(P)$(R)BPM_X")                        
{                                                           
   field(DTYP, "asynFloat64")
   field(INP,  "@asyn($(PORT),$(ADDR),$(TIMEOUT))BPM_X")
   field(SCAN, "I/O Intr")                        
}

in SHINE.cpp

setDoubleParam(P_BPM_X,        (signed)bpm_x/1000.00);

callParamCallbacks();

 

or waveforms

record(waveform, "$(P)$(R)CH1_RAW_WAVEFORM")
{
    field(DTYP, "asynFloat64ArrayIn")
    field(INP,  "@asyn($(PORT),$(ADDR),$(TIMEOUT))CH1_RAW_WAVEFORM")
    field(FTVL, "DOUBLE")
    field(NELM, "2048")
    field(SCAN, "I/O Intr")
}

doCallbacksFloat64Array(pData_CH1_waveform, imglen, P_CH1_Waveform, 0);

When I check the PVs，they show <undefined> 0 UDF INVALID
