Re: ai records: pool (SCAN) VS pull (FLNK) VS push (some examples)

[Benoit <benpaka.spam@gmail.com>]

Hi Mark,

I did put  field(FLNK,"$(user):AllInterlocksRdbk.PROC PP")

I still have my PV with:  INVALID, UDF_ALARM even after setting correctly the CtrlManualCmd

I don't understand why!

$(user):AllInterlocksRdbk in the database, only "$(user):AllInterlocks.

In my previous mail I got rid off the Rdbk Suffix by doing a bad copy paste.

Do you have a good tutorial to use the FLNK field in various case.

Regards,

Is the database you sent incomplete?  You have

 

            field(FLNK,"$(user):AllInterlocksRdbk") #or field(FLNK,"$(user):AllInterlocksRdbk.VAL PP") 

 

but I don’t see the record $(user):AllInterlocksRdbk in the database, only "$(user):AllInterlocks.

 

Also, if you are going to put a field in a FLNK it should not be the .VAL field, but rather the .PROC field, i.e.

 

    field(FLNK,"$(user):AllInterlocksRdbk.PRO PP")

Subject: ai records: pool (SCAN) VS pull (FLNK) VS push (some examples)

 

Hi everybody,

 

I've been looking to obtain concrete examples of the following post: http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/tech-talk/2012/msg02557.php in order to retrieve my data

 

I think I get it well for 

• pool: scan every 5 seconds the value of TempActRdbk
• push: getting the value of CtrlManualStat read register when CtrlManualCmd write register is updated (this is done in the asynDriver).

However, I don't manage to use the forward link so that when I write in  CtrlManualCmd I want to obtain an updated value of AllInterlocks.

Can someone tell me how to perform, and what I am doing wrong in the use of FLNK:

 

 

record(bo, "$(user):CtrlManualCmd")
{
        field(DTYP ,"asynInt32")
        field(OUT  ,"@asyn($(PORT),$(ADDR),$(TIMEOUT))Ctrl_Manual")
}
record(bi, "$(user):CtrlManualStat")
{
        field(DTYP ,"asynInt32")
        field(INP  ,"@asyn($(PORT),$(ADDR),$(TIMEOUT))Ctrl_Manual")
        field(SCAN ,"I/O Intr")
        field(FLNK,"$(user):AllInterlocksRdbk") #or field(FLNK,"$(user):AllInterlocksRdbk.VAL PP") 
}
record(ai, "$(user):AllInterlocks")
{
        field(DTYP ,"asynInt32")
        field(INP  ,"@asyn($(PORT),$(ADDR),$(TIMEOUT))Ilk_All")
        field(SCAN ,"I/O Intr")
}
record(ai, "$(user):TempActRdbk")
{
        field(DTYP ,"asynInt32")
        field(INP  ,"@asyn($(PORT),$(ADDR),$(TIMEOUT))temp_act")
        field(SCAN ,"5 second")
}
