You should use P=xxx:,S=scan1 for the sscan, but use P=xxx:,S=scaler1 for the scaler 974.

Subject: Scan1 already defined?

Hi tech-talk,

    Could you please do me an offer again. I just want to move a motor then triger a detector, on and on.
    I successfully controled the motor and scaler 974 respectively with xxx/iocBoot/iocLinux st.cmd.
    But when I put the motor and scaler 974 together, something wrong.

I added the motor and std part of xxx/iocBoot/iocLinux st.cmd  myself, others not changed.
After reading the information of st.cmd,  I think the &(P)$(S) of record is the question. The detail is: I use the macro value P=xxx:,S=scan1,N=1 for both sscan module(scan.db) and std module(scaler 974).
So the st.cmd said  :"Record xxx:scan1 already defined with different type sscan".

Could you tell me how should I do it?

Thanks,
Li Xing

the following is st.cmd information and scan.db. (between "####" and "#####" is what I changed )

Hi Xing Li,

You will know what your macro values should be based on the line that loads the scaler database into your ioc, usually in a startup command file called “st.cmd”.  In our case st.cmd loads “vme.cmd”, which contains a line like this:

dbLoadRecords(“$(STD)/stdApp/Db/scaler.db”,”P=xyz:,S=scaler1,OUT=#C0 S0 @,DTYP=Joerger VSC8/16,FREQ=10000000”)

“P=xyz:” and “S=scaler1” are the macro values you care about in this case because they are used in the PV name, and that’s what you’re connecting to with medm.

Hope this helps,
Kurt

Subject: macro value

Hi tech-talk,

computer :  linux redhat6.0     3.14.12.1     synApp5.6

I startup the medm with "medm -x -macro "P=xxx:,S=scaler974" /home/bsrf-non/Documents/synApps_5_6/support/all_adl/scaler.adl", but it could connect.
I think it is the macro value, because I copy it from others( I could not contact him )and it worked well before. Recently, I delete the synApp by careless, it did not work evenif I rebuilt the synApp.

I know nothing about how to set the macro value , could you teach me how to know  your macro value.
Thanks for you advice!

Thank you,
Xing Li
