Hi Xing Li,

 

You will know what your macro values should be based on the line that loads the scaler database into your ioc, usually in a startup command file called “st.cmd”.  In our case st.cmd loads “vme.cmd”, which contains a line like this:

 

dbLoadRecords(“$(STD)/stdApp/Db/scaler.db”,”P=xyz:,S=scaler1,OUT=#C0 S0 @,DTYP=Joerger VSC8/16,FREQ=10000000”)

 

“P=xyz:” and “S=scaler1” are the macro values you care about in this case because they are used in the PV name, and that’s what you’re connecting to with medm.

 

Hope this helps,

Kurt
