EPICS 3.14 support for XYCOM analog

This page is the home of XYCOM analog support. This consists of the following components :

devAiXy566Di.c
devAiXy566DiL.c
devAiXy566Se.c
devWfXy566Sc.c
drvXy566.c
drvXy566.h
xy566.dbd

These components previously resided in epics/base.

Hardware Supported

The module can drive the following types of hardware: XYCOM 566

VME Configuration

Since module_types.h is not support by EPICS 3.14, a config command is provided.

    xy566SEConfig(ncards, nchannels, base, memory)
    xy566DIConfig(ncards, nchannels, base, memory)
    xy566DILConfig(ncards, nchannels, base, memory, vector)
    xy566WFConfig(ncards, nchannels, base, memory, armaddr)

where

    ncards - number of cards of this type. Defaults are (4,4,6,4)
    nchannels - number of channels. Defaults are (32,16,16,1)
    base - the VME shortaddress for the first card.
           The defaults are (0x6000,0x7000,0xe000,0x9000)
    memory - The VME memory address for the first card.
           The defaults are (0x000000,0x040000,0x0c0000,0x080000)
    vector - The interrupt vector for the first card.
           The default is 0xf8
    armaddr - arm address for the first card. The default is 0x5400.

NOTE: In release 1-4, the vector was configured via xy566WFConfig rather than xy566DILConfig. This is fixed in release 1-5

Where to Find it

You can download the software by anonymous ftp from the links in the table below:

Installation and Building

After obtaining a copy of the distribution, it must be installed and built for use at your site. These steps only need to be performed once for the site (unless versions of the module running under different releases of EPICS and/or the other required modules are needed).

Create an installation directory for the module, usually this will end with

support/xycomAnalog

Unpacking the distribution tar file produces a <supporttop> directory named after the release number.
Edit the config/RELEASE file and set the paths to your installation of EPICS base.
Run gnumake in the top level directory and check for any compilation errors.

Application Builds

In order to use the support in an application do the following:

Add the following to <top>/configure/RELEASE

XYANALOG=<full path to installation directory>

Add the following to the application Makefile.
```
<app>_LIBS_vxWorks += xycomAnalog
```
Add the following to the <app>Include.dbd.
```
include "xy566.dbd"
```
