Subject: Limitations of some EPICS base's records

Hi

 

I have been wondering why some records only contains such a minimal number of inputs or outputs? For example the fanout records have 6 links, seq records have 10 inputs, subroutine records have 12 inputs, etc?. We started to have some applications where such numbers are really insufficient. I know that I can cascade records in case of exceeding the number of inputs, but I am wondering what is the idea behind such limitations other than field name length requirements.

 

Thanks.
