Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

Hi Stephanie,

Thanks for pointing out that. I was using the same EPICS base source that
we currently use, which is as I just found out a bit outdated.

We will probably go for 3.14.11 or even 3.14.12 since it is about to arrive..

Best regards,
Hinko

Hi Hinko,

You found the bug in the subRecord that is documented (with a patch) in the 3.14.10 known problems:
http://epics.aps.anl.gov/epics/base/R3-14/10-docs/KnownProblems.html

It's a good idea to check the known bugs and apply the patches before building!  You might want to check the 3.14.11 known bugs now.

Stephanie
