camonitor

camonitor [options] <PV name> ...

Description

Subscribe to and print value updates for PV(s).

Options

-h: Print usage information

CA options

-w <sec>: Wait time, specifies longer CA timeout, default is 1.0 second.

-m <msk>

Specify CA event mask to use.

<msk> is any combination of v (value), a (alarm), l (log/archive), p (property).

Default event mask is va

-p <prio>: CA priority (0–99, default 0=lowest)

Timestamps

Default: Print absolute timestamps (as reported by CA server)

-t <key>

Specify timestamp source(s) and type, with <key> containing:

s = CA server (remote) timestamps
c = CA client (local) timestamps (shown in ()s)
n = no timestamps
r = relative timestamps (time elapsed since start of program)
i = incremental timestamps (time elapsed since last update)
I = incremental timestamps (time since last update, by channel)\

r, i or I require s or c to select the time source.

Enum format

-n: Print DBF_ENUM values as number (default is enum string)

Arrays

Array values: Print number of elements, then list of values.

By default: request and print all elements (dynamic arrays supported).

-# <count>: Request and print first <count> elements of an array.

-S: Print array of char as a string (long string).

Floating point format

By default: use %g format.

-e <nr>: Use %e format, with a precision of <nr> digits.

-f <nr>: Use %f format, with a precision of <nr> digits.

-g <nr>: Use %g format, with a precision of <nr> digits.

-s: Get value as string (honors server-side precision).

-lx: Round to long integer and print as hex number.

-lo: Round to long integer and print as octal number.

-lb: Round to long integer and print as binary number.

Integer number format

By default: print as decimal number.

-0x: Print as hex number.

-0o: Print as octal number.

-0b: Print as binary number.
