Thanks Mark. You were right about this.  John

John,

With the gpib device I think you may have to enable asynTrace not on addr=-1, but rather on addr=GPIB address of the 5312 counter.  Have you tried that?

"inst" devices are directly connected to a single device, but "gpib" devices are connected to a GPIB controller which can be in turn connected to several devices.

Mark

All,

In have an EPICS 3.14.9 installation, asyn 4-9, StreamDevice 2-3

Two IOCs, each with a connection to a vxi11 device

case 1) Boonton 4540 power meter with LAN connection

    vxi11Configure ("L0","172.18.38.21",1,1000,"inst0")

    asynSetTraceMask("L0",-1,0x09)
    asynSetTraceIOMask("L0",-1,0x2)

Trace output appears on IOC console as I am accustomed to, i.e.
transmitted and received messages appear at console.

case 2) Agilent 53132 counter connected through HP E5810 (lan-to-gpib)

    vxi11Configure ("L0","172.18.22.21",1,1000,"gpib0")

    asynSetTraceMask("L0",-1,0x09)
    asynSetTraceIOMask("L0",-1,0x02)

in this case communication is fine but I don't see trace output.

Any ideas?

Regards,

John Dobbins
