What do you observe with the code you showed in the last message?

Hey Torsten, Mark pitched in, but I forgot to add you in my response.

> Do you call setTimeStamp() ?

 

Here the implementation for my write method. Testing for normal async with caput first.

 

asynStatus drvAsynIsegHalService::writeFloat64( asynUser *pasynUser, epicsFloat64 value )

{

 

  static const char *functionName = "writeFloat64";

 

  const char *propertyName;

  epicsTimeStamp timeStamp;

  char sVal[WRITE_BUF_LEN];

  int function = pasynUser->reason;

  asynStatus status = asynSuccess;

 

  epicsSnprintf( sVal, WRITE_BUF_LEN, "%f", value );

/*call driver methods and return asynError if write operation fails*/

       

// Get current IOC time.

epicsTimeGetCurrent( &timeStamp  );

       

// tried this without success.

setTimeStamp(&timeStamp);

 

  // update value of parameter

  status = ( asynStatus ) setDoubleParam( function, value );

  status = ( asynStatus ) callParamCallbacks( );

  if( status )

    epicsSnprintf( pasynUser->errorMessage, pasynUser->errorMessageSize,

                   "%s:%s: status=%d, function=%d, value=%f",

                   session_, functionName, status, function, value );

  else

    asynPrint( pasynUser, ASYN_TRACEIO_DEVICE,

               "%s:%s: function=%d, value=%f\n",

              session_, functionName, function, value );

  return status;

}

 

Regards,

 

Yann

Do you call setTimeStamp() ?
