Hi Mark
I meant is it possible to set the NORD field in asyn port driver? Right now I can't get my machine to enable core dumps in order to view the gdb backtrace, but I just found out that every time I request a large buffer, I get a received byte count of 1448 which
is the maximum data size in a TCP packet. I'll try to handle such case and see what happens.
Best Regards,
Abdalla.

NORD controls the maximum number of elements that can be read from the record. It is the number of "available" elements. You can request fewer elements in a read requests as well.

I am not sure what you mean by that question.
Have you been able to get a gdb traceback of your access violation problem?
Mark

Hi all.
Buffer size is 48 because the device sends waveform data in lines so I read each line separately by reading 48 bytes, If I request ADC 200 for example I receive 200 lines where each line is 48 bytes. I even did a test where I used a buffer size of 1M to receive
the full 20000 lines and still got the same error.
Regarding EPICS waveforms, what I meant is variable length from the client side; For example I set a buffer size in a PV and based on that PV value I read a specific length so that a plotter for example reads data with that specific length only. Does NORD achieve
this? If yes, how does asyn access individual record's fields?.
Best Regards,
Abdalla.

To clarify, waveform records have a _maximum_ size which is fixed
on initialization (eg. NELM). Actually size (NORD) has long been
changeable at runtime in the range [0, NELM].
Some caveats about NORD==0 apply wrt. CA specifically (works fine with PVA).
