Dear All,

With beast, is it possible to differentiate alarm messages based on the

severity of a PV?

For example, considering a PV of type mbbi, if the value is x and the

severity for that value is MINOR write the message "Module 1 bypassed",

if the value is y and the severity for this value is MAJOR write the

message "Module 1 in fault ". It would seem not possible considering

that the description field is unique.

I know that I can always do this by adding and processing specific PV

(CALC / CALCOUT, BI / BO etc.), but I was wondering if it was possible

to do it directly.

Thank you.
Roberto
