Re: Problems setting up MCA BrukerQM100

Hi Eva,

• My problem is that this ioc doesn't link `drvIPPortConfigure` - I need an IP port for running `BrukerQM100Config`. 

That is not correct.  The BrukerQM100Config command is defined here:

https://github.com/epics-modules/mca/blob/f3f9b67a3d25b981c1d1a81a1d237244a38ad7b4/mcaApp/RontecSrc/drvMcaBrukerQM100.c#L215

It is 

               int BrukerQM100Config(const char *portName, char *user, char *passwd, char *server, int spuno)

The portName argument to that command is the name of the asyn port to create for this driver.  It is not the name of a drvAsynIPPort.

You don't need to build your IOC with drvAsynIPPort.  The IP communication is done using their DLL, not with asyn.

Subject: Problems setting up MCA BrukerQM100

 

Hi,

I've been trying to set up an MCA ioc for the Bruker XFlash. I've built `mcaBrukerQM100.exe` (linking the hardware control dll), and am now in the process of writing the iocBoot for it.

My problem is that this ioc doesn't link `drvIPPortConfigure` - I need an IP port for running `BrukerQM100Config`. I've tried linking drvAsynIPPort.dbd in https://github.com/epics-modules/mca/blob/master/mcaApp/RontecSrc/mcaBrukerQM100Include.dbd to no avail.

Does anyone have any examples of a production mcaBrukerQM100 support module that I can look at?

Eva
