[Miguel Bordalo <miguel.b.fernandes@gmail.com>]

Could i do the same with the calcout pv?

I use an swait record (from synApps calc module: https://github.com/epics-modules/calc) to do this type of thing when the value is a number, not an array.  For strings, there is a similar scalcout record.

Here's an example with swait using a random number generator where the current and previous three values are buffered and then averaged.

record(swait, "random_signal") {
    field(DESC, "example random signal")
    field(CALC, "rndm")
}
record(swait, "memory_example") {
    field(DESC, "average of last four values")
    field(INAN, "random_signal")
    field(INAP, "Yes")
    field(INBN, "memory_example.A")
    field(INBP, "No")
    field(INCN, "memory_example.B")
    field(INCP, "No")
    field(INDN, "memory_example.C")
    field(INDP, "No")
    field(CALC, "(A+B+C+D)/4")
    field(SCAN, "I/O Intr")
}

Each of the last buffered values is available:

memory_example.A    current value of monitored signal "random_signal"
memory_example.B    previous value of memory_example.A
memory_example.C    previous value of memory_example.B
memory_example.D    previous value of memory_example.C
memory_example.VAL  average of these four values


The swait record provides up to 12 fields (letters A-L): the 11 most recent values could be buffered by extending this example.

save in another PV the last sample (scalar) (or more samples) of other
PV that is updated periodically.
this is for example: i have the temperature of a room being updated
periodically. I want another PV to act as a buffer that stores the last
two samples of the room's temperature . And i want to be able to acess
them individually of course.
Thanks!

    Please clarify a bit further.

    What do you mean by "save"?

        Write to a file? Store in an archiver? Write to another record?

    What kind of PV?

        Scalar or array data?

        If array: does "last" mean last array in time, or last element
        in array?
