To write EPICS GPIB device support using asyn, define DSET macros, implement init_ai, and populate the gpibCmd[] table with command types and format/conversion logic to map EPICS records to instrument commands.
EFAST enum mapping translates between human-readable strings and instrument responses by defining GPIBEFASTI and GPIBEFASTO input/output tables within your devGpib device support, allowing EPICS records to handle enumerated values natively.
Yes, you can use SCPI commands with EPICS records by creating gpibCmds[] entries that use scanf and printf format strings for sending commands and parsing responses, with optional custom convert routines for complex data.
You need to configure a VXI-11 gateway using vxi11Configure when your GPIB instrument is not directly connected and must be accessed over the network, enabling LAN-to-GPIB communication for the asyn device support.
The best way to generate GPIB_IO database records is to produce database files using zero-based parameter indices that correspond to your gpibCmd[] array entries, along with DBD device declarations for complete integration.
EPICS devGpib commands fail to parse responses when scanf format strings in the gpibCmd[] entries do not match the instrument's actual output format, or when custom convert routines are missing for non-standard SCPI response data.
