RE: asyn problem

["Mark Rivers" <rivers@cars.uchicago.edu>]

When it stops working, what do you see?

 

Here are some things to try:

 

- When it stops working, issue the following command:

 

asynReport 10,“L16”

 

This asks for a detailed report on the state of that asyn port.

 

Next, issue the following commands:

 

asynSetTraceIOMask “L16”,0,2

 

That enables TraceEscape output, printing ASCII plus escape sequences.

 

asynSetTraceMask “L16”,0,255

 

That turns on all trace output for your asyn port on address 0.  If you are using other addresses you might need to issue commands like:

 

asynSetTraceMask “L16”,2,255

 

for address 2, etc.

 

This should tell you if you are getting disconnected from the terminal server (TCP/IP disconnect) or if the device is sending garbage, etc.

I am using  ‘asyn’ to communicate with a custom made device using ‘HowTodoSerial’ concept where CommonGpib functions are used.

 

The device continuously sends data if a knob, attached to it, rotates and does not send anything otherwise.

 

The IOC is working properly as long as the knob rotates but stops working after some time when there is a long gap.The device is connected through a Serial to Ethernet Converter by

drvAsynIPPortConfigure("L16","192.168.0.10:10003",0,0,0)

 in st.cmd file.

 

TIME_WINDOW=1000

Asyn version=4-4

Base= base-14.8.2

 

Is it a time out problem? Is it disconnecting from device after timeout?

 

Additionally I also want to know how can I flush a particular serial buffer in this program?Is flushbuffer function is available here?
