If the record mustn't be processed, but you want it not to be in an alarm state, you can add the following field specifications:
  field(STAT, "0")
  field(SEVR, "0")

Subject: Init pv properly

Hello,

I would like to create a Pv that at the epics start up does not have any
specific value  or one forced by me.

For example i would like to have a string that its initial state is not
really important (no experience). Like:

record(stringin , "$(user):ExperienceString"){
     info(autosaveFields, "VAL")        #autosave
     field(VAL, "no experience")
     field(DESC, "anotar estados da experiencia")
}
Where ill change this afterwrds manually when it will be important.

The problem is that i would not like it to be instantiated as an
undefined  pv.
Changing the VAL is the most appropriated method? I tought about changin
UDF to 0 but did not work.

The same for a integer pv. Wich kind of pv should i use and how should i
instantiate it?

Thanks a lot,
MiguelB
