I am able to set the alarm status of an asub record by doing the following in an asub function:

 

recGblSetSevr(prec,READ_ALARM,MAJOR_ALARM);

 

This works for the asub record. Instead of setting the alarm like this for an asub record though, I was wondering if it is possible to set the alarm for an ai record.

 

Here is my attempt so far. My asub record is defined as:

 

record(aSub, "$(Sys)$(Dev)T$(N_T)-Elapsed_asub") {

        field(SNAM, "timeElapsed")

        field(INPA, "$(Sys)$(Dev)T$(N_T)-Time")

        field(OUTA, "$(Sys)$(Dev)T$(N_T)-Elapsed PP")

        field(OUTB, "$(Sys)$(Dev)T$(N_T)-I.NSTA")

        field(FTA, "DOUBLE")

        field(FTVA, "DOUBLE")

        field(FTVB, "ENUM")

        field(SCAN, "5 second")

}

 

I specified the alarm I am trying to set in OUTB. And then in my asub c file I try to do the following:

 

*((epicsEnum16*)prec->valb) = READ_ALARM;

 

I get the following messages in the IOC:

 

Error (511,511) PV: XF:17ID-CT:FMX{RG:F4}T-I.NSTA error detected in routine: dbPut

 

Is there any way I can set the alarm status for an ai record from an asub function? I can do it for an asub record, but asub records lack some features that I want from ai records, such as HIGH and HIHI fields.
