Hi Jorn,

 

Kay just fixed the CSS adl to opi converter so that XY graphs (medm Cartesian plots) are converted correctly.  I just tested that the following are now converted correctly and the BOY displays are correct:

 

XY plots with only a Y axis (no X axis)

XY plots with both a Y axis PV and an X axis PV

 

This is a screen shot of BOY configuration for an autoconverted XY plot with both X and Y axis PVs (look at Trace 0).

 

 

 

This is a screen shot of the live BOY display.  The X axis is the correct waveform record values.

 

 

Thanks for doing this Kay!

 

Mark

Hi Mark,

 

yes the NORD field is set correctly:

 

epics> dbpr XXX:cam1:WaveLengthArray_RBV

ASG:                BUSY: 0             DESC: Array of wavelength per bin      

DISA: 0             DISP: 0             DISV: 1            

NAME: XXX:cam1:WaveLengthArray_RBV                   NORD: 4000         

SEVR: NO_ALARM      STAT: NO_ALARM      TPRO: 0             VAL: (nil)

 

epics> dbpr XXX:image1:ArrayData

ASG:                BUSY: 0             DESC:               DISA: 0            

DISP: 0             DISV: 1             NAME: XXX:image1:ArrayData      

NORD: 2048          SEVR: NO_ALARM      STAT: NO_ALARM      TPRO: 0            

VAL: (nil)

 

If I do a caget it returns:

 

$> caget HIBEF:XFEL:cam1:WaveLengthArray_RBV

HIBEF:XFEL:cam1:WaveLengthArray_RBV 4000 340.32 340.702 341.084 341.467

341.849 342.231 342.614 342.996 343.378 343.76 344.142 344.524 344.906 345.288

345.669 ....

 

So that part works. If I add this PV as "X PV" to the XY graph widget, CSS has a problem and disconnects from the IOC nand reconnects to it aftera short moment.

 

Regards,

 

Jörn
