There isn't a field that allows setting the hardware switch state based

on a linked PV. You can, however, set the soft limits of the soft motor

so that the hardware limits of the real motors are never activated.

Hi Kevin,

I figured I could try to remove the SPC_NOMOD from the dbd (and a

bo/calcout record to write to it), but it feels too hackish. What I was

really trying to figure out is if there was a field I could put a link

in to set the limit switch fields (similar to RDBL/DINP/etc).

Pedro,

The HLS/LLS/RHLS/RLLS fields are read-only.

Hi,

I am working on creating virtual motors to control some slits. One

problem I have is that I couldn't find a way to set the

HLS/LLS/RHLS/RLLS fields. Is there a way to control these (whether

having an input link to these values or a writing them directly with a

calcout or bo record)?

Thank you very much
