FYI the EPICS_CA_MAX_ARRAY_BYTES setting has been optional since EPICS 3.16.1, so if you're using any EPICS 7.0.x release and haven't explicitly set
EPICS_CA_AUTO_ARRAY_BYTES=NO
somewhere in either your Base build configuration or in your environment the MAX limit shouldn't be something you need to set.

We changed that line in st.cmd. It didn't seem to make a difference at first glance. We'll play more. I would expect an error if the payload exceeded the default EPICS_CA_MAX_ARRAY_BYTES, no?

You may also need to increase EPICS_CA_MAX_ARRAY_BYTES

The EPICS interface to Dante allows setting the spectrum length to 4096, but the data only ever covers 2048 channels. How do I make it show 4096?
