Re: Device sending continuously Data

[Dirk Zimoch via Tech-talk <tech-talk@aps.anl.gov>]

Hi Benjamin,

It should work with a StreamDevice protocol like this:

getData {
  maxInput=8;
  in 0x20 0x21 "%#2r%(\$1)#2r" 0x17 0x18;
}

record (ai, "$(P)Data1") {
  field (DTYP, "stream")
  field (INP, "@$(PROTOCOLFILE) getData($(P)Data2) $(ASYNPORT)")
  field (SCAN, "I/O Intr")
}

record (ai, "$(P)Data2") {
}
