Depends on the CA client and how (if) it handles string values. If you use
the (host side) caput command (from extensions/src/ca) you will get:

> caput Q5PT1R:rdbk.SCAN ".5 second" 
Old : Q5PT1R:rdbk.SCAN               .2 second
ca_put failed on Q5PT1R:rdbk.SCAN

> caput Q5PT1R:rdbk.SCAN 7
Old : Q5PT1R:rdbk.SCAN               .2 second
New : Q5PT1R:rdbk.SCAN               .5 second
