Thank you all for your support.

 

I will change script that read A,B,C,D channel individual way, it works fine.

 

 adc_cha = lcaGet(tmp1, WLength);

 adc_chb = lcaGet(tmp2, WLength);

 adc_chc = lcaGet(tmp3, WLength);

 adc_chd = lcaGet(tmp4, WLength);

 

% align order     

 allADC=[adc_cha adc_chb adc_chc adc_chd];

 

Thanks,

Kiman

Yong,

 

Increased timeout value.

lcaSetTimeout(1.0);

lcaSetRetryCount(200);

 

 

total size is 180*4*1M*8byte(double) = 5.76 Gbyte

 

Reading waveforms...

Error using lcaGet

Out of memory. Type HELP MEMORY for your options.

 

Error in adcLongWfmRead_1m (line 276)

        allADC = lcaGet([tmp1; tmp2; tmp3; tmp4], WLength);

Kiman:

 

Yes, the function is lcaSetTimeout, i.e. lcaSetTimeout(1.0) will set the timeout to 1 second. The default timeout is 0.1 second.

Other useful functions for your case:  lcaGetRetryCount, lcaSetRetryCount

 

BTW, you do not need to set EPICS_CA_MAX_ARRAY_BYTES to 5G.  A little bit greater than 1M*sizeof(data-type-of-ADC-raw-data) should be enough.

How to increase the timeout?

At the Matlab lcaLAB function or other ...?

I think you need to increase the timeout or retries in ezca.

Hi all,

 

I am trying to readout  (180 * 4 PVs) * 1 M point BPM ADC raw data using the lcalab.

But, I found errors at waveform size > (180*4*100K) point.

Any solutions for readout 180*4*1M array size?

 

 

% BPM [180x1]

tmp1=strcat(BPM, 'Ampl:ARaw-I');

tmp2=strcat(BPM, 'Ampl:BRaw-I');

tmp3=strcat(BPM, 'Ampl:CRaw-I');

tmp4=strcat(BPM, 'Ampl:DRaw-I');

 

Reading waveforms...

Error using lcaGet

multi_ezca_get -  ezcaGetWithStatus(): no response in time

 

Error in adcLongWfmRead_1m (line 276)

        allADC = lcaGet([tmp1; tmp2; tmp3; tmp4], WLength);

 

 

Thanks,

Kiman
