RE: To read single element from waveform record

["Mooney, Tim M." <mooney@aps.anl.gov>]

I haven't done this with the subarray record.  With the acalcout record, I'd do it like this:

record(acalcout, "myacalc") {

    field(NELM, "4")

    field(NUSE, "4")

    field(INAA, "optoRead")

    field(CALC, "a:=aa[0,0];b:=aa[1,1];c:=aa[2,2];d:=aa[3,3];1")

    field(FLNK, "opto1Binary")

}

record(bo, "opto1Binary")

    field(DOL, "myacalc.A")

    field(OMSL, "closed_loop")

    field(FLNK, "opto2Binary")

}

record(bo, "opto2Binary")

    field(DOL, "myacalc.B")

    field(OMSL, "closed_loop")

    field(FLNK, "opto3Binary")

}

...

Subject: To read single element from waveform record

Hello,

I have a waveform record with 4 elements with  ftvl=USHORT. How to read a single element from waveform using subArray or acalcout record or any other record.  I have tried using subarray as

record(waveform, optoRead) {

  field(SCAN, "Passive")

  field(NELM, "4")

  field(FTVL, "USHORT")

  field(DTYP, "wafoptosupport")

  field(FLNK, "optolinks")

}

record(subArray, opto1) {

  field(SCAN, "Passive")

  field(DTYP, "Soft Channel")

  field(FTVL, "USHORT")

  field(INP, "optoRead")

  field(INDX, "0")

  field(FLNK, "opto1Binary")

  field(MALM, "2")

  field(NELM, "1")

}

record(subArray, opto2) {

  field(SCAN, "Passive")

  field(DTYP, "Soft Channel")

  field(INP, "optoRead")

  field(MALM, "4")

  field(INDX, "1")

  field(FLNK, "opto2Binary")

  field(FTVL, "USHORT")

  field(NELM, "1")

}

record(subArray, opto3) {

  field(SCAN, "Passive")

  field(DTYP, "Soft Channel")

  field(INP, "optoRead")

  field(MALM, "4")

  field(INDX, "2")

  field(FLNK, "opto2Binary")

  field(FTVL, "USHORT")

  field(NELM, "1")

}

record(subArray, opto4) {

  field(SCAN, "Passive")

  field(DTYP, "Soft Channel")

  field(INP, "optoRead")

  field(MALM, "4")

  field(INDX, "3")

  field(FLNK, "opto2Binary")

  field(FTVL, "USHORT")

  field(NELM, "1")

}

but it doesn't works. Everytime on doing caget it prints just the first element of waveform.
