Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

I am new to epics so I would really appreciate some help.

Now to my question; as the subject line suggests, I need help/tips on how to generate a binary output pulse by processing an analog output record, i.e. I want the bo value to be 1 for 0.5 seconds (and then return to 0) each time the analog output is processed. My idea of the database setup was the following:

record (bo, "YY") {

  ...

  field (DOL, "1")

  field (OMSL, "closed_loop")

  field (HIGH, "0.5")

}

This works fine the first time "XX" is processed (using dbpf), but the next time "XX" is processed (using dbpf), it doesn't work.

Any tips/thoughts on this would be highly appreciated.
