Features
Idtpv supports finding a specific set of process variables, or just browsing all known PV's by various categories. The PV's are organized by "system", ioc, db file, and record type. Additionally, you may search using a wildcard pattern for the PV name, and even specify a particular PV field name and value that must be present.
The result of a search is a list of process variables. Select one, and a variety of details about that PV will be shown. The set of all fields and their values from the db file definition are shown. All links (within and across ioc's) that refer to the selected PV are shown. Lastly, any known references to that PV by external applications is shown.
A simple "history mode" is provided, whereby you specify a PV search by wildcard pattern, and a list of IOC reboots related to that PV is displayed. This shows all known IOC boots where this PV was present in a db file.
Idtioc shows the list of known IOC's. A pink entry means that ioc is flagged as "inactive" in the database. Selecting an ioc will show all known attributes for that ioc. If you log in and have been granted sufficient permissions, you may add new ioc's, and edit/add/remove the various descriptive attributes.
