RE: Writing array data in an AreaDetector application

[Iain Marcuson via Tech-talk <tech-talk@aps.anl.gov>]

That was indeed the problem; thank you.  As a related question, what records would I use if I wanted to have a waveform of readback values?  I do not see an array equivalent to setDoubleParam().

 

Iain.

The problem is in your constructor.  When you call the base class constructor you give it a bit mask of what interfaces to implement.  You need to add asynFloat64Array to that.

 

Here is an example of a driver that does that:

https://github.com/areaDetector/NDDriverStdArrays/blob/e21b2f2f74feb217a0e67ba8f8fc4bfd7efe58e0/NDDriverStdArraysApp/src/NDDriverStdArrays.cpp#L49

I do see a message I had overlooked before:

devAsynFloat64Array::initCommon, 13PIL1:cam1:PADDigiCorr find asynFloat64Array interface failed

 

I think I have the function names and signatures right, from looking at file asynPortDriver.h, if that is what you mean.

Hi Iain,

 

Looking at the documentation [1] and your record, it all seems fine.

The waveform record type was created as an input - that's why the configuration field is INP. Unrelated to your problem.

 

It's most probably a code issue. Is your additional method properly declared in the class declaration, so that the default implementation of the method is overridden?

 

Cheers,
~Ralph
