Dave,
Unfortunately, it's not currently possible for EDM, or any other EPICS
client, to subscribe for updates to be sent when there are changes in the
limits. Therefore, most clients fetch the limits when they connect and
assume that they don't change after that. Perhaps that might explain EDM's
behavior.
PS: This could be fixed in the database by creating a new subscription
trigger option bit (in addition to DBE_VALUE, DBE_LOG, and DBE_ALARM). In
the current system the limit changes wouldn't be stored on the event queue,
but notification would be, and a current value would be fetched by the
server when sending the subscription update message, and that would probably
be a fully suitable behavior considering that limits don't change very
often. Nevertheless, changes are coming in R3.15 which will allow almost any
data structure to be potentially stored on the event queue (including the
limits).
