=title Sub-Array Record (subArray)
|
|
|
|
The normal use for the subArray record type is to obtain sub-arrays from
|
|
waveform records. Setting either the number of elements (NELM) or index (INDX)
|
|
fields causes the record to be processed anew so that applications in which the
|
|
length and position of a sub-array in a waveform record vary dynamically can be
|
|
implemented using standard EPICS operator interface tools.
|
|
|
|
The first element of the sub-array, that at location INDX in the referenced
|
|
waveform record, can be displayed as a scalar, or the entire subarray (of length
|
|
NELM) can be displayed in the same way as a waveform record. If there are fewer
|
|
than NELM elements in the referenced waveform after the INDX, only the number of
|
|
elements actually available are returned, and the number of elements read field
|
|
(NORD) is set to reflect this. This record type does not support writing new
|
|
values into waveform records.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|

|
|
|
|
=head2 Parameter Fields
|
|
|
|
The record-specific fields are described below, grouped by functionality.
|
|
|
|
=head3 Scan Parameters
|
|
|
|
The subArray record has the standard fields for specifying under what
|
|
circumstances the record will be processed.
|
|
These fields are listed in L<Scan Fields|dbCommonRecord/Scan Fields>.
|
|
|
|
=head3 Read Parameters
|
|
|
|
The subArray's input link (INP) should be configured to reference the Waveform
|
|
record. It should specify the VAL field of a Waveform record. The INP field can
|
|
be a channel access link, in addition to a database link.
|
|
|
|
In addition, the DTYP field must specify a device support module. Currently, the
|
|
only device support module is C<Soft Channel>.
|
|
|
|
=fields INP, DTYP
|
|
|
|
=head3 Array Parameters
|
|
|
|
These parameters determine the number of array elements (the array length) and
|
|
the data type of those elements. The Field Type of Value (FTVL) field determines
|
|
the data type of the array.
|
|
|
|
The user specifies the maximum number of elements that can be read into the
|
|
subarray in the MALM field. This number should normally be equal to the number
|
|
of elements of the Waveform array (found in the Waveform's NELM field). The MALM
|
|
field is used to allocate memory. The subArray's Number of Elements (NELM) field
|
|
is where the user specifies the actual number of elements that the subArray will
|
|
extract. It should of course be no greater than MALM; if it is, the record
|
|
processing routine sets it equal to MALM.
|
|
|
|
The INDX field determines the offset of the subArray record's array in relation
|
|
to the Waveform's. For instance, if INDX is 2, then the subArray will read NELM
|
|
elements starting with the third element of the Waveform's array. Thus, it
|
|
equals the index number of the Waveform's array.
|
|
|
|
The actual sub-array is referenced by the VAL field.
|
|
|
|
=fields FTVL, VAL, MALM, NELM, INDX
|
|
|
|
=head3 Operator Display Parameters
|
|
|
|
These parameters are used to present meaningful data to the operator. They
|
|
display the value and other parameters of the subarray record either textually
|
|
or graphically.
|
|
|
|
EGU is a string of up to 16 characters describing the engineering units (if any)
|
|
of the values which the subArray holds. It is retrieved by the C<get_units()>
|
|
record support routine.
|
|
|
|
The HOPR and LOPR fields set the upper and lower display limits for the
|
|
sub-array elements. Both the C<get_graphic_double()> and C<get_control_double()>
|
|
record support routines retrieve these fields.
|
|
|
|
The PREC field determines the floating point precision with which to display
|
|
VAL. It is used whenever the C<get_precision()> record support routine is
|
|
called.
|
|
|
|
See L<Fields Common to All Record Types|dbCommonRecord/Operator Display
|
|
Parameters> for more on the record name (NAME) and description (DESC) fields.
|
|
|
|
=fields EGU, HOPR, LOPR, PREC, NAME, DESC
|
|
|
|
=head3 Alarm Parameters
|
|
|
|
The subarray record has the alarm parameters common to all record types.
|
|
L<Alarm Fields|dbCommonRecord/Alarm Fields> lists the fields related to
|
|
alarms that are common to all record types.
|
|
|
|
=head3 Run-time Parameters
|
|
|
|
These fields are not configurable by the user. They are used for the record's
|
|
internal processing or to represent the current state of the record.
|
|
|
|
The NORD field holds the number of elements that were actually read into the
|
|
array. It will be less than NELM whenever the sum of the NELM and INDX fields
|
|
exceeds the number of existing elements found in the source array.
|
|
|
|
BPTR contains a pointer to the record's array.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
=head3 Record Support Routines
|
|
|
|
=head4 init_record
|
|
|
|
long (*init_record)(struct dbCommon *precord, int pass)
|
|
|
|
Using MALM and FTVL, space for the array is allocated. The array address is
|
|
stored in BPTR. This routine checks to see that device support is available and
|
|
a device support read routine is defined. If either does not exist, an error
|
|
message is issued and processing is terminated. If device support includes
|
|
C<init_record()>, it is called.
|
|
|
|
=head4 process
|
|
|
|
long (*process)(struct dbCommon *precord)
|
|
|
|
See L</"Record Processing">.
|
|
|
|
=head4 cvt_dbaddr
|
|
|
|
long (*cvt_dbaddr)(struct dbAddr *paddr)
|
|
|
|
This is called by C<dbNameToAddr()>. It makes the dbAddr structure refer to the
|
|
actual buffer holding the result.
|
|
|
|
=head4 get_array_info
|
|
|
|
long (*get_array_info)(struct dbAddr *paddr, long *no_elements, long *offset)
|
|
|
|
Retrieves NORD.
|
|
|
|
=head4 put_array_info
|
|
|
|
long (*put_array_info)(struct dbAddr *paddr, long nNew)
|
|
|
|
Sets NORD.
|
|
|
|
=head4 get_graphic_double
|
|
|
|
long (*get_graphic_double)(struct dbAddr *paddr, struct dbr_grDouble *p)
|
|
|
|
For the elements in the array, this routine routines HOPR and LOPR. For the INDX
|
|
field, this routine returns MALM - 1 and 0. For NELM, it returns MALM and 1. For
|
|
other fields, it calls C<recGblGetGraphicDouble()>.
|
|
|
|
=head4 get_control_double
|
|
|
|
long (*get_control_double)(struct dbAddr *paddr, struct dbr_ctrlDouble *p)
|
|
|
|
For array elements, this routine retrieves HOPR and LOPR. Otherwise,
|
|
C<recGblGetControlDouble()> is called.
|
|
|
|
=head4 get_units
|
|
|
|
long (*get_units)(struct dbAddr *paddr, char *units)
|
|
|
|
Retrieves EGU.
|
|
|
|
=head4 get_precision
|
|
|
|
long (*get_precision)(const struct dbAddr *paddr, long *precision)
|
|
|
|
Retrieves PREC.
|
|
|
|
=head3 Record Processing
|
|
|
|
Routine process implements the following algorithm:
|
|
|
|
=over
|
|
|
|
=item 1.
|
|
|
|
Check to see that the appropriate device support module exists. If it doesn't,
|
|
an error message is issued and processing is terminated with the PACT field
|
|
still set to TRUE. This ensures that processes will no longer be called for this
|
|
record. Thus error storms will not occur.
|
|
|
|
=item 2.
|
|
|
|
Sanity check NELM and INDX. If NELM is greater than MALM it is set to MALM. If
|
|
INDX is greater than or equal to MALM it is set to MALM-1.
|
|
|
|
=item 3.
|
|
|
|
Call the device support's C<read_sa()> routine. This routine is expected to
|
|
place the desired sub-array at the beginning of the buffer and set NORD to the
|
|
number of elements of the sub-array that were read.
|
|
|
|
=item 4.
|
|
|
|
If PACT has been changed to TRUE, the device support read operation has started
|
|
but has not completed writing the new value. In this case, the processing
|
|
routine merely returns, leaving PACT TRUE. Otherwise, process sets PACT TRUE at
|
|
this time. This asynchronous processing logic is not currently used but has been
|
|
left in place.
|
|
|
|
=item 5.
|
|
|
|
Check to see if monitors should be invoked.
|
|
|
|
=over
|
|
|
|
=item *
|
|
|
|
Alarm monitors are invoked if the alarm status or severity has changed.
|
|
|
|
=item *
|
|
|
|
Archive and value change monitors are always invoked.
|
|
|
|
=item *
|
|
|
|
NSEV and NSTA are reset to 0.
|
|
|
|
=back
|
|
|
|
=item 6.
|
|
|
|
Scan forward link if necessary, set PACT FALSE, and return.

=head2 Device Support
|
|
|
|
=head3 Fields Of Interest To Device Support
|
|
|
|
The device support routines are primarily interested in the following fields:
|
|
|
|
=fields PACT, DPVT, UDF, NSEV, NSTA, INP, FTVL, MALM, NELM, INDX, BPTR, NORD
|
|
|
|
=head3 Device Support Routines (devSASoft.c)
|
|
|
|
Device support consists of the following routines:
|
|
|
|
=head4 long report(int level)
|
|
|
|
This optional routine is called by the IOC command C<dbior> and is passed the
|
|
report level that was requested by the user.
|
|
It should print a report on the state of the device support to stdout.
|
|
The C<level> parameter may be used to output increasingly more detailed
|
|
information at higher levels, or to select different types of information with
|
|
different levels.
|
|
Level zero should print no more than a small summary.
|
|
|
|
=head4 long init(int after)
|
|
|
|
This optional routine is called twice at IOC initialization time.
|
|
The first call happens before any of the C<init_record()> calls are made, with
|
|
the integer parameter C<after> set to 0.
|
|
The second call happens after all of the C<init_record()> calls have been made,
|
|
with C<after> set to 1.
|
|
|
|
=head4 init_record
|
|
|
|
long init_record(subArrayRecord *prec)
|
|
|
|
This routine is called by the record support C<init_record()> routine.
|
|
|
|
=head4 read_sa
|
|
|
|
long read_sa(subArrayRecord *prec)
|
|
|
|
Enough of the source waveform is read into BPTR, from the beginning of the
|
|
source, to include the requested sub-array. The sub-array is then copied to the
|
|
beginning of the buffer. NORD is set to indicate how many elements of the
|
|
sub-array were acquired.
|
|
|
|
=head3 Device Support For Soft Records
|
|
|
|
Only the device support module C<Soft Channel> is currently provided.
|
|
|
|
=head4 Soft Channel
|
|
|
|
INP is expected to point to an array field of a waveform record or similar.
