Dear all,

  I have a stringin that can be processed several times rapidly in
succession with a different .VAL field each time. I get a monitor for
each time it is processed. However, the monitored values are mostly the
same.

  For example (pvload is a tool that processes a list of channel assign-
ments; "group" uses ezcaBeginGroup()/ezcaEndGroup()):

% pvload
group {
    string k0:ao:sc:state = "a";
    string k0:ao:sc:state = "b";
    string k0:ao:sc:state = "c";
    string k0:ao:sc:state = "d";
    string k0:ao:sc:state = "e";
    string k0:ao:sc:state = "f";
}

camonitor k0:ao:sc:state
 k0:ao:sc:state                 06/04/97 12:16:59.400 a 
 k0:ao:sc:state                 06/04/97 12:16:59.410 f 
 k0:ao:sc:state                 06/04/97 12:16:59.410 f 
 k0:ao:sc:state                 06/04/97 12:16:59.410 f 
 k0:ao:sc:state                 06/04/97 12:16:59.410 f 
 k0:ao:sc:state                 06/04/97 12:16:59.410 f 
^C

  Is there anything I can do to prevent this behavior? I am still
running EPICS R3.13.0.

  Thanks,

  William
