RE: Help Request: Setting up NIXI-1042/NI-MXI-4/DXP-XMAP withdxpStandalone_2-10

[David Ehle <ehle@agni.phys.iit.edu>]

Mark, Jeff,

Thank you both for your replies, and for the explanations.

As this system will be used pretty much exclusivly as an IOC, the 
message seems to be benign and I do not expect that caget will be used 
locally with any regularity I think I'm going to stick to the current 
epics version installed so that we can move on with the larger project.

Thanks again!

David.
