Hi Bruno,

EPICS uses the period symbol to separate record from field. For example:

dbpr myRecord.VAL

I think you should get rid of the period in your record name. You can probably do this in the line in your st.cmd file that says:

dbLoadRecords "db/dbSubExample.db", "user=bruno.martins"

Change 'bruno.martins' to 'bruno'.

Hi

I don't know if this is the place for a begginer question, but here I go.

I'm starting out using EPICS, following basic tutorials. I was able to compile epics base without a problem. Then I created the example IOC using makeBaseApp.pl.

Everything went fine, and I got the IOC to run:

epics> dbl
bruno.martinsHost:aiExample
bruno.martinsHost:aiExample1
bruno.martinsHost:aiExample2
bruno.martinsHost:aiExample3
bruno.martinsHost:aSubExample
bruno.martinsHost:calc1
bruno.martinsHost:calc2
bruno.martinsHost:calc3
bruno.martinsHost:calcExample
bruno.martinsHost:calcExample1
bruno.martinsHost:calcExample2
bruno.martinsHost:calcExample3
bruno.martinsHost:compressExample
bruno.martinsHost:subExample
bruno.martinsHost:xxxExample

But then, when I tried to get more details about one of these PV's, I got:

epics> dbpr bruno.martinsHost:aiExample3
Record 'bruno.martinsHost:aiExample3' not found

I got this message for every PV I tried, and I don't really know what went wrong, since the PV's are being listed...


Thanks in advance!
