Subject: Re: record that processes at a given time of day?

As a simple but effective database solution with on-board means, I would:
  • take two stringin records with the "formatted time" support,
  • have one show the hours, the other one the minutes, and
  • use a calcout record (FLNKed by the minutes) to compare those to the hours and minutes of the alarm time kept in two other fields of the calcout, finally
  • use OOPT/DOPT/DVAL of the calcout to trigger whatever on transition from false to true.

Cheers,
~Ralph

Hi,

I'm wondering if someone has an EPICS record implemented that processes at a given time of day, like an alarm clock.

I don't see anything like that in EPICS base.
