Thanks Ralph,

I am not going  to upgrade our systems at the moment (we are just commisioning
our Linac !!!) so:
- can I upgrade just this record, or does it need new features of this release
?
- is there another way to write a value to this record so that it sets all its
outputs at the same time ?

If this did not work before - ( and it has been around a few years)  I can't
understand what was the use of this record ?

Steve
