Re: ca_put on an IOC

[Andy Foster <ajf@observatorysciences.co.uk>]

Hi John,

Isn't the INPC field of the calc record an input link to the C field?
I would have assumed that you need to do the put to
"gppd0A:GasC:g1calc.C".

I guess the put to "gppd0A:GasC:gas1tol" works because you are writing
to the VAL field of the AI and then this is being pulled into field C
of the calc via the input link INPC when the calc processes.

Cheers,

Andy
