Hello, Nick!
Dear colleagues!

Could you please explain how to use your TDS3000 support for my Tektronix 3054C (i have only the Ethernet interface)?

I am using the RHEL x86 operating system. I have successfully installed epics base (R3-14-12-1), extensions (1.7), sequencer (seq-2.1.3), asyn driver support (asyn4-18), tektronix tds3000 device support (tds3000-2.4) according to the manual. And they all seem to be working fine.

I think I have some problems with creating an application. I can't understand how to perform the following:

Using the software

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

    Add the following to <top>/configure/RELEASE

    TDS3000 = <full path to installation directory>
    ASYN = <full path to installation directory>
       

    Add the following to the application Makefile.

    <app>_LIBS_vxWorks += asyn
    <app>_LIBS_vxWorks += devTDS3000

There are two things wrong:

1) You are specifying libraries for vxWorks, but you are building an application for Linux.

2) Order of libraries is important.  The asyn library must come after the devTDS3000 library.

Try changing the above two application Makefile lines to:

<app>_LIBS += devTDS3000

<app>_LIBS += asyn
