VacNitro is a [[statecode]] program that runs on c1vac1. The program continuously reads the nitrogen pressure over a serial line from an OMEGA DPiS32 dac. The main loop of the program is: {{{ ss VacNitro { state init { when(1) { %% fd=open("/tyCo/1", O_CREAT | O_RDWR, 0666); %% if(fd==ERROR) %% printf("Error: Cannot open device /tyCo/1\n"); %% resetChannel(1); %% initChannel(1); %% ioctl(fd,FIOFLUSH,0); %% taskDelay(100); } state cycle state cycle { when(delay(1)) { %% fdprintf(fd,"*X01\r\n"); %% taskDelay(15); %% buf=serialRead(fd); %% N2pres=serialConvert(buf); %% if(N2pres > 0.0) pvPut(N2pres); } state cycle } } }}} The "*X01" is the OMEGA "i-Series" command to send the current data value in decimal. In the initChannel portion of the program, it is evident that the expected serial parameters are 9600 baud, 7 data bits, odd parity, 1 stop bit.
