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

[Ralph Lange <ralph.lange@gmx.de>]

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,

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.
