Subject: Alarm handler: setting group mask via config file?

Dear Tech-talk,

I finally have the time to ask this question. When trying to set the default mask via the config file I haven't had any luck when applying it to a group, i.e.

GROUP NULL	HV ---T-
GROUP HV	Boards

However, it works as expected for an individual channel

CHANNEL West_1 TOF:HV:Positive:West:1:14:1:vmon ---T-

Reading through the manual, in version 1.2.23 in Ch. 6 it says under the "Group or Channel" that the mask is only applicable to CHANNEL. However when discussing the sample config file it says:

In this example the default mask "-----" is used for every channel. That is, no masks are specified on the group and channel lines.

Which seems to indicate one can set a mask via the group.

Is there a syntax difference between setting the mask for GROUP and CHANNEL? It would make it considerably easier for me if I could set it in the group else I would need to do it for all 571 channels (could be worse I know).

I am using ALH 1.2.24 on OS X 10.5.6 PPC with EPICS 3.14.9

Thanks,
Bertrand
