Update behavior of camonitor

["Neidherr, Dennis Dr. via Tech-talk" <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

Dear all,

I have a small and very basic question about the behavior of camonitor:
It seems to be that it depends on the type of the record if I get an update in camonitor or not when I overwrite the record value with exactly the same value. Simple types like "stringout" do not trigger an update whereas a waveform for example does. Is there a purpose behind that difference? And can I somehow reproduce the "waveform-behavior" also for simple record types? An alternative would be to use the waveform record for everything, but maybe there is an easier solution.

Thanks a lot
Greetings Dennis
