Subject: genSub tutorial needed
From: Dennis Nicklaus <nicklaus@fnal.gov>

Can someone please give me a step-by-step explanation of how to use
the genSub records? I've read the record reference manual entry for them and
I still don't get it.
Here's what I want to do: 1. Have a function which would create two arrays, I and Q, of N points each, using several input parameters (values of other PVs) whenever any of the other PVs is set.
2. Copy these 2 arrays out to two separate VME memory address locations
(I'm copying an array to an array of addresses, not each-element-in-the-array-to-the-same-address as in a FIFO).
3. Process other records as with an FLNK link.


This sounds simple enough, but it is beyond my meager EPICS knowledge.
Thanks!
Dennis
