Subject: stringout in softIOC

Hi

I’m having some issues with stringout records in a softIOC (r3.14.12.5 on Linux).

There are two records (in my contrived example below) the only difference between the two records is in the DOL field, [UBACKLASH] versus [“UBACKLASH”].

soutT1 is loaded and the DOL field is interpreted as a CA_LINK and the OUT field as DB_LINK.

soutT2 has the value of DOL in double quotes, which was my attempt to force it to be a constant. When loaded both DOL and OUT get set to CONSTANT. The DOL value is lost and I don’t understand why OUT does not remain as a DB_LINK.

 

Thanks,

Al

 

record(stringout,"soutT1") {

    field(DESC,"string output record")

    field(SCAN,"Passive")

    field(DTYP,"Soft Channel")

    field(VAL,"string")

    field(DOL,"UBACKLASH")

    field(OMSL,"supervisory")

    field(OUT,"param.VAL PP")

}

record(stringout,"soutT2") {

    field(DESC,"string output record")

    field(SCAN,"Passive")

    field(DTYP,"Soft Channel")

    field(VAL,"string")

    field(DOL,""UBACKLASH"")                 

    field(OMSL,"supervisory")

    field(OUT,"param.VAL PP")

}
