Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

If doing the above seems like too much work, I want to see what happens
if you replace the internals of your SET_PV macro with a simple printf()
of the state values, because currently you are monitoring the state
machine at the end of a long pipeline:

   SNL CA client → RSRV → dbAccess → record → dbEvent → RSRV → CA client

Calling printf() inside the SNL program would bypass that pipeline and
should prove whether the Sequencer is actually skipping states. Once we
know the answer to that we can decide if we need to investigate further
to explain the results you are seeing by monitoring it over CA.

can not react, when the PV does not change.

Here are my observations: (all other tests passed):

src/libCom/test/cvtFastPerform produces only a hugh load, but does not seem to work

some calculations are not possible on the powerpc, I guess.

I copied all db and dbd files. Are there more files, I need to copy?


All tests of src/std/rec/test worked 100%.

Sorry for such a long message, I hope, this helps at least a bit.
