I can use TSEL to get the time stamp from another record.

And now for something completely different:

Q: Why does the output of caget list ANOTHER:PV.VAL when I set it to ANOTHER:PV.TIME?

Because the .TIME field is not accessible by Channel Access. The

timestamp can only be obtained by using a DBR type that includes the

timestamp on any valid CA-accessible field of a record.
