Re: Question about two minor issues with IOCs

Hi Jakub,

The first issue seems to be an error message from device support that is only coincidentally associated with normal-status messages from autosave.

I don't understand the second issue.  You might get more information by inserting this:

epicsThreadSleep(5.)

before the call to create_monitor_set().  This should tell us if the buffer messages actually do result from actions by autosave.

Subject: Question about two minor issues with IOCs

 

Hi all,

I have been working on setting up some new USB cameras at a beamline recently, and I noticed two errors showing up in the IOC

shell, though the IOCs for the cameras actually work fine after startup. I wanted to ask if anyone knows why these show up, and how

to resolve them. To make sure it wasn't specific to the driver I had written, I compiled ADSimDetector against the same base, asyn etc,

and I still saw them showing up:

The first seems to be an issue with autosave, as this shows up right after reboot_restore starts:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

reboot_restore: entry for file 'auto_settings.sav'

reboot_restore: Found filename 'auto_settings.sav' in restoreFileList.

*** restoring from './autosave/auto_settings.sav' at initHookState 6 (before record/device init) ***

reboot_restore: done with file 'auto_settings.sav'

Error (511,511) PV: 13SIM1::TIMEZONE devStringinEnvVar (init_record) Illegal INP parm field

The second issue happens after the auto_settings.req file is loaded:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

create_monitor_set("auto_settings.req", 30, "P=13SIM1:")

callbackRequest: cbLow ring buffer full

callbackRequest: cbLow ring buffer full

callbackRequest: cbLow ring buffer full

And is buffer full message is repeated ~30 times.

After all of these messages, I get a message that all the PVs are connected, and the IOC runs with no issues, which is puzzling to me.

If anyone could give me some advice on the source and solution to these that would be great.

Regards,

Jakub Wlodek
