According to the release notes,
3.15.0 changed the EVNT to be a name instead of a number.

    postEvent name

or (on VxWorks)

    postEvent(eventNameToHandle("name"))

can be used from the iocShell to manually generate the event.

Cheers,
~Ralph

Dear all,

while updating our IOC from EPICS 3.14.12.6 to 3.16.1 I discovered a problem with the event record.
I use several binary output records, which listen to event number 2. If the corresponding event record is processed, the binary output records do no process. If I force them to with "dbpf <PV-NAME>.PROC 0", it works.

The IOC is running on a PowerPC.
I use
  field(SCAN, "Event")
  field(EVNT, "2")
in the bo record.

Have there been changes in the event record or shall I use a different way to trigger these output PVs?

Best regards,
Simon
