Native Data Type: DBF_DOUBLE
Request Type: DBR_LONG
Element Count: 1
Value: 0
However a caput with a double value does get truncated during the put. Which makes sense as these values should be integers. So why is the native type a double? Currently I am basing display of data by the EPICS type. So this data is shows as a decimal value because it comes back as a DOUBLE.
We can code for this configuration but I was just curious as why the native
type for MBBI values was set to DOUBLE.
Thanks
