Certainly. Thanks for the help!

Running 3.14.11. I can narrow it down to this simple-ish test case.

-->  load commands (loaded by dbLoadTemplate)<--

file "insertablesV/db/inchannels.db"
{
pattern {cardname, devicetype, deviceaddr, description}
{"E201B06C0943ADDR3", "VMIC0943", "#C3 S2 @MES", "limit switch"}
{"E201B06C0943ADDR4", "VMIC0943", "#C4 S2 @MES", "limit switch"}
}

-->  db file<--

record(ai, "$(cardname):ai") {
  field(DESC, "$(description)")
  field(DTYP, "$(devicetype)")
  field(FLNK, "$(cardname):mux2")
  field(INP, "$(deviceaddr)")
  field(SCAN, ".2 second")
  field(PINI, "YES")
}

record(calc, "$(cardname):mux1") {
  field(DESC, "$(description)")
  field(FLNK, "$(cardname):low")
  field(CALC, "A AND 65535")
  field(INPA, "$(cardname):ai")
}

record(calc, "$(cardname):mux2") {
  field(DESC, "$(description)")
  field(FLNK, "$(cardname):mux1")
  field(CALC, "A>>  16")
  field(INPA, "$(cardname):ai")
}

record(mbbiDirect, "$(cardname):high") {
  field(DESC, "$(description)")
  field(INP, "$(cardname):mux2")
}

record(mbbiDirect, "$(cardname):low") {
  field(DESC, "$(description)")
  field(INP, "$(cardname):mux1")
  field(FLNK, "$(cardname):high")
}

Feel free to offer any design advice as well. :)

I'm seeing this error (warning?) when I load a new database.

dbFreeLink called but link type unknown

I've looked through EPICS source for the message, but I can't make out what
it's trying to tell me.

We need a bit more information: What version of Base are you using, does this
only happen for one record type, device type or record instance (and if so
please include that part of the .db file).
