That's already possible.  You just connect an asyn record to that asyn
port.  The asyn record has a nice medm screen which lets you turn the
mask bits on and off.  Moreover, a single asyn record can be switched
between ports (and between asyn "addr" addresses) so you don't
necessarily need one asyn record for each port, a single asyn record per
IOC would be sufficient.

Okay, I will have to try that, in the case of setting asynTrace masks.

However, in the more general case, I think being able to use

streamDevice's exec functions would still benefit from being able to

access the attached PV.

Has anyone done a conversion of the MEDM screens to EDM screens related

to the asyn record? I've often wanted to play with the asyn record, but

it always looked like the secret to its use was somewhat embedded in the

screens, and we only use EDM here. I guess I'll have to see if there is

a Capfast symbol for the asyn record, too...

Thanks.
