Subject: Does the record type lsi support a long string longer than 40 bytes?

Dear All,

 

I understand new record types such as printf, lsi and lso are added in EPICS v3.15.

So, I’m considering to use the record type lsi (long string input) to store a string value longer than 40 bytes.

But in my test case, it seems that maximum length supported by lsi is 40 bytes including ‘\0’ as the string record type.

 

$ caput my:lsiout 12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890

Old : my:lsiout              

New : my:lsiout               123456789012345678901234567890123456789

 

$ caput -a my:lsiout 3 1 2 3

Old : my:lsiout               

New : my:lsiout              

 

Does the record type lsi support a long string longer than 40 bytes?

If so, how can I read and write a long string value to a lsi record?

If not, could anyone let me know the difference between lsi and stringin and any suggestion for my purpose?

 

Thanks in advance.

Sangwon
