Hmmm.... What I remember: When you connect a widget to an CS-Studio/BOY internal sim channel providing a sine wave, you see it as read-only with all graphical balderdash that goes with it. When you connect the same widget to an EPICS calc record providing a sine wave, it appears writable, and while writing seems to work, it doesn't. Shouldn't both behave the same? And: In a panel used for testing, that indeed routinely connects controller widgets to input records, everything works fine as long as the hardware is disconnected, i.e. you can flicker your input bits and see them on the operation panels under test. As soon as the hardware is connected, the test panel stops working, and there's no easy way to tell. (Writing seems to work, but it doesn't.) My recent work on the simulation mode is trying to fix the second case towards being able to use the simulation mode to simulate missing hardware (which currently doesn't work - see other thread). When that eventually works, the testing panel will connect to SVAL fields, the alarm status (SIM) can be used to signal simulation mode, and you don't have to disconnect the hardware. The first case ... I don't know. Cheers, ~Ralph On Thu, Aug 24, 2017 at 5:46 PM, Kasemir, Kay <[email protected]> wrote:
