Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System
Hi all- I'm trying to use simulation mode for the first time and am having
trouble getting it to work. I hope someone out there may be able to tell me
what I'm doing wrong. I have no doubt it's a thinko on my part!
In the .db file (record names have been changed to protect the innocent):
grecord(bi,"REC1") {
field(DTYP,"Soft Channel")
field(INP,"1")
}
grecord(mbbo,"REC2") {
field(DESC,"IO Control")
field(DTYP,"SR830")
field(NOBT,"2")
field(OUT,"#L$(L) A$(G) @2")
...etc
field(SIML,"REC1")
}
I want the SIMM field of REC2 to be controlled by the REC1.VAL, at IOC boot,
so that the mbbo never goes to talk to the real (non-existent) device. Am I
wrong in expecting REC2.SIMM to be set from REC1.VAL via the REC2.SIML DB link?
"dbpr" shows that REC1.VAL is indeed 1, but REC2.SIML/.SIMM never get set.
I'm doing it this way because there are quite a few REC2's.
Maybe it's a confusion between YES/NO vs. 1/0; how does one load a YES/NO
field via a DB link? Do I need a PINI somewhere? Is there a better way to
propagate SIMMs across a DB?
thanks,
Mike
