Hi, Matt. Thanks so much for the response. Unfortunately using
get_ctrlvars doesn't seem to help. Or at least I can't figure out how
to use it properly.
I've tried setting "with_ctrlvars=True" when adding the callback (which
is supposed to be the default anyway), but enum_strs is still None in
the arguments passed to the callback.
If I explicitly retrieve the pv in the callback (via 'cb_info') and call
pv.get_ctrlvars() directly, I'm consistently returned an empty dict.
Furthermore, this call takes a very long time to return, apparently
after hitting a timeout.
Other methods on the pv retrieved from 'cb_info' are timing out as well.
It's almost as if the PV being supplied to the callback isn't actually
the same PV attached to the callback.
This is my first application that relies heavily on PV callbacks, so I
could be doing things improperly. Everything else seems to be working
great, though. It's just the enums that I seem to have no way of
resolving.
jamie.
