RE: initializing a waveform record

["Singleton, SJ (Steve) " <Steve.Singleton@diamond.ac.uk>]

Hello Mark

I use EPICS subroutine (SUB) records to initialise waveform records, with
the attached code.  Because of the limitation on the number of arguments to
a SUB record it is only possible to initialise up to nine elements of the
array from one SUB record.  The arguments of the SUB record are as follows:

INPA - the waveform record
INPB - the index number of the first waveform element to be set up by this
SUB record.
INPC - the number of elements to be initialised by the SUB record, in the
range 1 - 9.
INPD to INPL - the values to which the elements are to be set.

Hope this helps.

Regards
Steve Singleton

Subject: initializing a waveform record


What is there a standard way to initialize the values of a waveform record?

I saw Andrei Liyu's post from this past Apr. 8. He seems to imply that 
the standard is to call dbPutField. Does one write a VxWorks subroutine 
to make this call and load the array?

The array is of floats, and will be about 100 elements long. The values 
are static; they never change.

I also looked at the waveform record description in the Record Reference 
Manual. That did not help me given my lack of basic understanding of 
this stuff.

I also skimmed the contents of the Application Developer's Guide. No 
help for me there either.
