caqtdmtest

Provides tests for caqtdm. It has two subdirectories:

• database is an ioc database that can be accessed via channel access or via the EPICS V4 privider pva.
• caqtdm provides a way to run qtdesigner and caqtcm

Building and starting database

• Copy the file EXAMPLERELEASE.local to a file named RELEASE.local.
• Edit RELEASE.local so that it has correct locations for all components.
• cd to directory database
• make
• cd to directory database/iocBoot/exampleDatabase
• ../../bin/linux-x86_64/exampleDatabase st.cmd

Examples

• Copy the file EXAMPLEsetEnv to setEnv
• Edit setEnv so that it locates caqtdm
• cd to directory caqtdm

To initialize the array records in the database

./initArrays

To start caqtdm execute:

  ./startDM

To start qtdesigner execute:

   ./qtdesigner

Directory caqtdm has .ui files that access records from the database.

testconnect

This is a test for connecting to and monitoring multiple channels.

The test monitors three channels:

• caqtdmPVRdouble - only available via provider pva
• caqtdmDBRcounter - via provider pva
• caqtdmDBRao - via provider pva
• caqtdmDBRao - via provider ca

To build and start the example:

• cd to directory testconnect
• make
• bin/linux-x86_64/monitorForever

To test the example first

• cd to directory database/iocBoot/exampleDatabase
• ../../bin/linux-x86_64/exampleDatabase st.cmd

While this is running you can issue commands like

caput caqtdmDBRao 5
pvput caqtdmPVRdouble 5
pvput caqtdmDBRao 4

Then stop the exampleDatabase by entering exit.

Now

• cd to directory database
• bin/linux-x86_64/exampleDatabaseMain

Now the only channel that is connected is caqtdmPVRdouble. Thus only commands like the following will work:

pvput caqtdmPVRdouble 5
