Re: mbbo & calcout for drive position management

["Crisp, Daniel via Tech-talk" <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

Thanks for the continued help! Raw Soft Channel worked.

But I have one a new issue; and still one remaining:

1. The mbbo xxVL fields appear to be ULONG, so the negative positions don't appear to be working correctly; i.e. -11 is shown as 4294967285
   1. Our desired setpoints are both positive & negative. Maybe this is why we were using the calcout. Is there a way around this?
2. The mbbo PV & fields appear to be stuck in UDF_ALARM; not just on reboot, but also after making caputs
   1. I tried setting SCAN = "Passive"; I'm not certain this is appropriate, but it didn't seem to help anyways

Thoughts?
