Hi Stephen,

I would recommend using the most recent version of asyn. Older versions will also work, but don't have all the bug fixes. It will work with your version of base.

Hi,

Using asyn will make developing a driver easier, but in most cases you can use StreamDevice (a separate install which works with asyn) and you only then need to provide a text based protocol definition file for new devices. See http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/modules/soft/asyn/ for links to versions of asyn compatible with your EPICS base as well as links to using SteamDevice. If you will be installing other EPICS modules too, you may want to consider the synApps collection https://www1.aps.anl.gov/BCDA/synApps which includes asyn and StreamDevice as well as many other useful EPICS modules

Regards,

Freddie

Subject: Asyn support

Hi All,

I have downloaded and built epics base 3.14.12.4 for windows, on a PC running winXP.

I wanna use serial COM ports from epics application. I believe I will be needing asyn support to make that happen.

plz suggest which asyn version will work with my epics version, how to integrate asyn in my setup and how to use it in application.

Thanks,
Stefen
