Hey Ralph,
(I hope I'm responding to this thread correctly, I just changed my tech-talk subscription from nscl.msu.edu to frib.msu.edu)
Well that sure makes a lot more sense, thanks!
I did run into an issue doing this, though. For reasons I don't understand, the IOC doesn't seem to like the following line in my mbbo definition:
field(DTYP, "Raw Soft")
At IOC startup, I get the following:
Can't set "REA_BTS41:STRIP_D1391:POS_SEL.DTYP" to "Raw Soft"
I figured I could take this support being there for granted.
If I grep my IOC for "Raw Soft" I get the following, which leads me to believe that it is in fact there, but maybe there's more to it?
dbd/rea-ops.dbd:device(mbbo, CONSTANT, devMbboSoftRaw, "Raw Soft Channel")
dbd/rea-ops.dbd:device(bo, CONSTANT, devBoSoftRaw, "Raw Soft Channel")
dbd/rea-ops.dbd:device(mbbi, CONSTANT, devMbbiSoftRaw, "Raw Soft Channel")
dbd/rea-ops.dbd:device(bi, CONSTANT, devBiSoftRaw, "Raw Soft Channel")
dbd/rea-ops.dbd:device(mbbiDirect, CONSTANT, devMbbiDirectSoftRaw, "Raw Soft Channel")
dbd/rea-ops.dbd:device(mbboDirect, CONSTANT, devMbboDirectSoftRaw, "Raw Soft Channel")
dbd/rea-ops.dbd:device(ai, CONSTANT, devAiSoftRaw, "Raw Soft Channel")
dbd/rea-ops.dbd:device(ao, CONSTANT, devAoSoftRaw, "Raw Soft Channel")
(these device() lines are also seen in my rea-opsApp/src/O.Common/rea-ops.dbd file)
Am I missing something here?
Thanks again!
