Hello,

I'm trying to pick up when a record's EGU changes within my OPI. I've configured the relevant setting in CS-Studio to monitor DBE_PROPERTY and this works fine locally.

However, when trying to do the same through a gateway CS-Studio will get the event but will not correctly update its units.

I wonder if this may be because the gateway is putting an undefined timestamp on the property event? E.g. I am getting:

C:\Instrument\Apps\EPICS>camonitor -m p LOCAL:PV
LOCAL:PV       2018-08-03 10:57:54.819651 10
LOCAL:PV       2018-08-03 10:57:54.819651 10

C:\Instrument\Apps\EPICS>camonitor -m p PV:THROUGH:GATEWAY
PV:THROUGH:GATEWAY          2018-08-03 11:03:18.015750 10
PV:THROUGH:GATEWAY          <undefined> 10

I am running version 2.1.0 of the gateway, base 3.15.5 and running under Windows.

My gateway has the -mask set to vap, from a quick look through the gateway code I'm not sure if this is required or not?

I'm happy to dig a bit further into this and put the work in to fix it but before I do does anyone else have experience of running a similar set up? Or any general insight into the issue?

Thanks,
