Hi all.
I response to the recent discussion of the asyn record for invoking IOC
shell commands, I have tried to set up a Capfast configuration for the
asyn record. To do this, I have inspected the asyn record DBD file, and
am extracting the crucial bits to a Capfast symbol file and to the
edb.def file used in the Capfast -> EPICS .db file conversion. In the
DBD file, I see the following snippet:
field(IFACE,DBF_MENU) {
prompt("Interface")
menu(asynINTERFACE)
special(SPC_MOD)
}
Since I haven't yet come to a good understanding of the behavior of the
asyn record, I cannot say for sure, but it seems to me that the record's
interface method is a vital configuration issue, and that GUI tools can
only use the IFACE field's configuration if there is also the
promptgroup(GUI_DISPLAY)
element added to the DBD file for the IFACE field description.
Is this correct, or do I simply not understand the record and/or the
meaning of the DBD file elements?
Thanks,
