Thanks
again Alain.
If
I want to get PV limits, I see that I can use ExtControl
type, but I do not see a timestamp in this type. Is there
a single type I can use to access both of these
properties, or do I need to use ExtControl and
ExtTimeType?
Regards,
Chris
I
was calling the wrong DateTime constructor due to the fact
I wasn't passing long values. I tested the time stamp and
from what I can see, now it seems to show the same value
as the standard epics client. Let me know if it works for
you.
Sincerely,

Thanks
again Alain. That works much better. I see the data and I
see the timestamp changing.
However,
the converted date and time seem wrong. This is the value
of ExtTimeType<float[]>.Time (incorrect):
{12/31/1989
6:59:31 PM}
I
run a python camonitor on the same PV and I see this
(correct):
testi3200_in_current
2013-11-30 11:28:26.85700 <array size=32,
type=float>

Hi
Chris,
I
must admit I never worked with floats and the C# lib so
far, nor I used much the arrays. Anyhow I found quite a
few issues in my code and hope to have fixed them. There
is a few things I'm not 100% sure however it seems to work
now. So please try to grab the latest version and see if
it works for you.
Sincerely,
Alain
Would
you expect this code to work?
###
static class Program
{
[STAThread]
static void Main()
{
EpicsClient client = new EpicsClient();
EpicsChannel<ExtTimeType<float[]>> record =
client.CreateChannel<ExtTimeType<float[]>>("r_I128_channels_test");
record.MonitorChanged += new
EpicsDelegate<ExtTimeType<float[]>>(record_MonitorChanged);
Console.ReadKey();
}
static void
record_MonitorChanged(EpicsChannel<ExtTimeType<float[]>>
sender, ExtTimeType<float[]> newValue)
{
Console.WriteLine("Help!");
}
}

I
see a similar exception as before in the console window:
###

Thanks,

Ask
for an ExtTimeType<TType>
where TType is the type you want for the data (string,
float or whatever)
And
you should receive the timestamp as Time property of it.
Cheers,

I
am actually talking about the client. Can you point me
to some documentation/example code that accesses
timestamps?
Thanks,
Chris
The client should be able to reach any
PV information, so I guess you are talking about the
server side implementation. Right? The server is designed
in such a way that you can define your own types and have
any properties you want visible through Epics. So units,
limits or whatever else you want have should be doable
already.
Cheers,
Alain

Hi
Alain.
The
new code works. I appreciate your efforts and quick
response. I was wondering if there were any plans to
expose some other PV information such as timestamp,
units, limits, etc. in a future version of EpicsSharp?
Thanks,
Chris
