Hello everyone, I used waveform to read 8 channels data, the waveform record is: record(waveform, "$(P)Countxxyy") {
field(DTYP, "stream") field(INP, "@ct0801f.proto Counters_in $(PORT)")
field(NELM, "8")
field(FTVL, "LONG")
field(SCAN, "$(SCAN)") } The user hope that the NELM is a variable, so I used $(P)N to controller the readout numbers: record(waveform, "$(P)Counters") { field(DTYP, "stream") field(INP, "@ct0801f.proto Counters_in $(PORT)") field(NELM, "$(P)N") field(FTVL, "LONG") field(SCAN, "$(SCAN)") } When $(P)N changed, the $(P)Countxxyy keep an initial value. I think that the NELM can not be modified: Then I found the modify property about NELM in subArray is ¡®yes¡¯, So I changed the record like this: record(waveform, "$(P)Counters") { field(DTYP, "stream") field(INP, "@ct0801f.proto Counters_in $(PORT)") field(NELM, "8") field(FTVL, "LONG") field(SCAN, "$(SCAN)") } record(subArray,"$(P)Countersxy")
{ field (DESC, "Read counterx~countery") field (INP, "$(P)Counters") field (MALM, "8") field (NELM, "$(P)N") field (INDX, "0") field (SCAN, "$(SCAN)")
} When the $(P)N changed tobe 4, $(P)Countersxy.NELM doesn't change. It is still the inital value 1, and $(P)Countersxy read only 1 channel data. Can we set the NELM tobe a variable? How could we read changing channels from the above 8 channel datas? I am confused and ask for help. Thank you so much. With my best reguards, Kevin
