Re: Unable to initialize parameter with setStringParam()

[Bruno Martins <brunoseivam@gmail.com>]

HI Henrique,

I think what is happening is that NDFileTempSuffix has its associated $(P)$(R)TempSuffix record with PINI=YES and VAL="", so the record initialization that happens after your constructor is clearing the value (https://github.com/areaDetector/ADCore/blob/master/ADApp/Db/NDFile.template#L366).

I think the same happens to NDFileTemplate.

HTH,

Bruno

 Hello, while constructing an areaDetector object, I'm unable to
successfully initialize string parameters with setStringParam(). For
example, calling setStringParam(NDFileTemplate, "abcd") or
setStringParam(NDFileTempSuffix, "xyz") has no effect and the
corresponding PVs, FileTemplate_RBV and TempSuffix_RBV stay empty. Any
help ?

 Note: I can successfully initialize integer parameters with setIntegerParam().
