Hi Marty:

I understand this is not the final tutorial on how
to use the new ideas, but I got stuck when
trying to match this definition:
struct(MbbiState) {
    field(name,string)
    field(value,array(octet[]))
    field (severity,menu(menuAlarmSevr))
}

record(MbbiRecord) extends RecordCommon {
     field(state, array(struct(MbbiState)[])) {...}
     ...
}

and this instance example:

MbbiRecord dac16 = {
    state = [3] {
        {“state1”,[2]{0x00,0x01}},
        {“state2”,[2]{0x00,0x02}},
    ...
}

It might be a little easier to read if the 'severity'
values were added, or the form name="state1", value="..."

Agreed. I have made the change. I am attaching the latest version.

Thanks,

Marty

was used. Or show all options:
    state = [3] {
        # Verbose
        {name=“state1”, value=[2]{0x00,0x01}, severity=NORMAL},
        # Terse
        {“state2”, [2]{0x00,0x02}, NORMAL},
        # Defaults for unspecified 'rest'
        {“state3”, [2]{0x00,0x04}}

The "scan" data acqu. example for the new wait/block
processing modifiers is very good!
