Hi Patrik,

I tried it and it works. You did not try to set the INP link to the RVAL field of the other record (which is not Raw Soft Channel), did you?

Also keep in mind that the RVAL field is an integer. Thus pointing the INP to a double field will round the value (eventually to 0).

Hi,

I'm trying to use an ai record to obtain the value of a channel from a record on another IOC. I have the INP field set to "(name of field on other IOC) CP"; When I specify the DTYP as Soft Channel, it reads the value and updates as it changes. But when I set the DTYP to Raw Soft Channel so that I can do conversion on it, both the RVAL and the VAL fields stay a constant 0.

Thank you,

Patrick
