Hi Daniel,

Yes, that is probably your problem.  When the feedback is turned off are you changing the power supply through the EPID_OBUF record, or by talking directly to the power supply PV?  If you are talking directly to the power-supply PV then that is the problem.  The EPID record assumes that it can read the value from it OUTL link to determine the current value of the controlled PV.  You need to arrange for EPID_OBUF to be updated when the power supply PV changes and feedback is turned off.
