Re: areaDetector question

Hi Jörn,

looking at your dbLoadRecords it seems you are about four times over
the default MAX ARRAY bytes (16 kB); 8000 x float64 (8 bytes) = 64kB.
Try lowering the count NELEMENTS=1000 and see if that works.. if all
good you can set an environment variable to handle more than 16 kB by
exporting EPICS_CA_MAX_ARRAY_BYTES in BOTH, IOC and command line where
caget is executed:

# in IOC
epicsEnvSet EPICS_CA_MAX_ARRAY_BYTES 10000000

# in terminal setting to 10Mb
export EPICS_CA_MAX_ARRAY_BYTES=10000000

HTH, hinko
