Hi,
I am a Labview User, and I create Records with Labview (version 8.0)
I want to ask about the Data Type DBR_CTRL_XXXX.
When I create a Record, the Data Type of this Record will be created as
DBR_DOUBLE. Is it possible to change the Data Type of a Record
DBR_CTRL_DOUBLE with DBR_DOUBLE?

Why I'm asking this, because DBR_CTRL_XXXX is able to display: value,
alarm status, alarm severity, units, display precision, graphic limits,
and control limits of Record.

with command 'caget'.
For Example:
"caget PVName" gives out:
PVName   Value

"caget -d34 PVName" gives out:
value, 
alarm status, 
alarm severity, 
units, 
display precision(HI,LO),
graphic limits(HI,LO),
control limits(HI,LO,HIHI,LOLO).

Thanks.
