Hello, Marty,

Thanks for the example. But even with that I don't manage to run it.

#include <iostream>
#include <getopt.h>

#include <epicsThread.h>
#include <epicsTime.h>

#include <epicsExit.h>
#include <iocsh.h>

#include <iostream>

#include <pv/pvaClient.h>
#include <pv/pvData.h>

using namespace std;
using namespace epics::pvaClient;
using namespace epics::pvData;

int iChunk(char *pvName)
{
    PvaClientPtr pva= PvaClient::get("pva”);
try {
    PvaClientChannelPtr channel = pva->channel(pvName);
    PvaClientPutGetPtr putGet = channel->createPutGet("putField(value)getField()");
    putGet->connect();
    PvaClientPutDataPtr putData = putGet->getPutData();
    PVStructurePtr pvValue = putData->getPVStructure();
    // CODE TO  PUT ALL FIELDS IN value

    putGet->putGet();
    PvaClientGetDataPtr getData = putGet->getGetData();
    cout << getData->getPVStructure() << endl

    } catch (std::runtime_error e) {
        cout << "exception " << e.what() << endl;
        exit(1);
    }
    return 0;
}

int main(int argc,char *argv[])
{
  epicsThreadId simpleId;

    if(argc>=2) {
        iocsh(argv[1]);
        epicsThreadSleep(.2);
    }

    char pv[] = "CRYVISIL:STM:FASTSCAN:IMAGE_CHUNK";
    simpleId = epicsThreadCreate("IChunkT", epicsThreadPriorityMedium,
                                epicsThreadGetStackSize(epicsThreadStackMedium),
                                (EPICSTHREADFUNC)iChunk, pv);
    iocsh(NULL);
    epicsExit(0);
    return(0);
}

The “ putGet->connect();” raises an exception

exception channel CRYVISIL:STM:FASTSCAN:IMAGE_CHUNK PvaClientPutGet::connect
PvaClientPutGet::channelPutGetConnect)
pvRequest
structure
    structure getField
    structure putField
        structure value

error
Not Implemented
Error: epicsMutex::invalidMutex()

the PV is available

[junkes@dune iocmyEx]$ pvinfo CRYVISIL:STM:FASTSCAN:IMAGE_CHUNK
CRYVISIL:STM:FASTSCAN:IMAGE_CHUNK epics:nt/NTTable:1.0
    string[] labels
    structure value
        double[] x
        double[] y
        double[] z
        int[] time_index
    string descriptor
    alarm_t alarm
        int severity
        int status
        string message
    time_t timeStamp
        long secondsPastEpoch
        int nanoseconds
        int userTag
    int counter

Am I doing something wrong?

Danke, Heinz
