Subject: calc doesn't appear to be working with MEDM for string expressions (Win32 Extension Version 1.40)

Hi all,

    I’m trying to get the attached logic working with MEDM and string-valued record fields and it isn't working. For the _expression_ "A = B", the text always appears, regardless if string A is different or the same as string B. Do I need to do something special to make strings work with the MEDM calc functionality? Note that I'm using MEDM from EPICS WIN32 Extension Version 1.40.

 

    The A and B string sizes are 18 characters.

 

Here is the text from the adl file.

 

text {
 object {
  x=320
  y=205
  width=180
  height=14
 }
 "basic attribute" {
  clr=20
 }
 "dynamic attribute" {
  vis="calc"
  calc="A = B"
  chan="$(P)scan1.P1PV"
  chanB="$(P)scan2.P1PV"
 }
 textix="ERROR: SAME MOTORS"
 align="horiz. centered"
}

 

Thanks,

Jay Steele
