Hi,

I'm using mbbo record type that provides 5 values/strings. When mbbo
record is controlled from EDM panel using Radio Box I can set the record
value to desired state.

If the state changes in the underlying software my mbbo record does not
update the value - eg. Radio Box button that was last pressed remains
selected in the EDM panel, while actual state changed.

How can this be done?

Providing mbbi record with same PORT and ADDR as mbbo, I can see that
the state in mbbi record updates as soon as the underlying software
changes the value. But this does not update the mbbo record, though..

Here is the mbbo record:

record(mbbo, "$(DEVICE)SWITCH") {
	field(DTYP, "asynInt32")
	field(OUT, "@asyn($(PORT), 0, 1.0)")
	field(ZRVL, "0")
	field(ONVL, "1")
	field(TWVL, "2")
	field(THVL, "3")
	field(FRVL, "4")
	field(ZRST, "MANUAL")
	field(ONST, "AUTO")
	field(TWST, "AVERAGING")
	field(THST, "COMPENSATING")
	field(FRST, "AVE & COMP")
	field(PINI, "YES")
}

Best regards,
Hinko
