%d, %X, %04X result in error

bsobhani commented 4 years ago

I have a record that used to work fine, but when I updated StreamDevice I now get "Cannot format value with '%04X'" when I write to it.

The full entry from the protocol file is:

WritePID {
        out "*\$1W\$2%04X";
        out "*\$1Z02";
        wait 5000;
}

The record type was originally ao, so I tried changing the type to longout, but the problem persists. Right now the record looks like:

record(longout, "$(Sys)$(Dev)Gain:PB$(N_GAIN)-SP")
{
        field(DTYP, "stream")
        field(DESC, "Proportional Band 1")
        field(OUT, "@omega-CNi32.proto WritePID($(Chan),17) $(PORT)")
        field(EGU,  "Counts")
        field(PINI, "YES")
        field(VAL, "20")

        info(autosaveFields_pass0, "VAL")
}

The only thing I can do is to get the message to go away is changing the %04X to %lf. I also tried %d and %d does not work. Any ideas for why %lf works but not %04X or %d?

Are you using EPICS 7? I think I messed it up. May be related to pull request 52. https://github.com/paulscherrerinstitute/StreamDevice/pull/52

Yes, the EPICS version is: EPICS R7.0.3.2-DEV Rev. R7.0.3.1-102-g1d6fcd46d653934da0e2

Today's commit cede631 should fix this problem. But I am still running tests....

I pulled the latest changes and I confirm this seems to have resolved the issue. Thank you.
