The "genSub" record for EPICS 3.14
----------------------------------
There are 4 directories in this tar file.
capfast - Contains: The 6 "genSub" capfast symbols.
The "edb.def" entries.
If using Capfast:
(1) Copy the symbols: capfast/*.sym to the relevant location.
(Probably $EPICS/extensions/src/edif/lib/sym)
(2) Add the lines in: capfast/edb.def to your edb.def file.
(Probably this resides in $EPICS/extensions/src/edif/lib)
docs - Contains the EPICS Record Reference Manual for the record.
genSubManual.pdf
src - Contains the 3.14 source file and database definition file for
version 1.6 of the genSub record.
example - Contains two further directories:
(Note: this example code has NOT been ported to 3.14).
send
----
pinfo.h - Example structure to transfer between two records.
send.c - Process routine which runs in the sending genSub record.
send.db - Database which contains two genSub's. This is an example of
passing data within an IOC.
send.sch - Capfast schematic of the above database.
receive
-------
pinfo.h - As above.
listen.c - Process routine which runs in the 'genSub' record in the
receiving IOC.
listen.db - Database which contains a single genSub. Load this is a
different IOC to send.db.
listen.sch - Capfast schematic of the above.
These files are meant to provide an example of how to use the 'genSub' record.
In the "sending" database, a genSub record puts out values on 4 links. On the first
link is an array of 5 doubles. On the second link is a user defined structure (defined
in pinfo.h). On the third link is an array of 4 strings. On the fourth link is a
single LONG value.
Also, in the "sending" database is a second 'genSub' record which receives the data
across database links.
In the "receiving" database, a single 'genSub' record gets the values via Channel Access
links as they are pushed/pulled from the "sending" database. Links A, B and C are
pushed into the receiving database. Link D is pulled across from the sending database.
