Is there any simple way to check status of an external PV from IOC shell? For example, I am at a IOC shell epics> Is there any IOC shell command (or some way) that allow me do things like "dbpr external_PV" or "caget external_PV"? I am not aware of any IOC based tools that support this *directly*. It would be a useful utility if you chose to develop it. However, there is always the hack! If you have a spare record in your IOC (e.g. a soft AI record) you could ... dbpf "softAI.INP", "externalPV" dptr "softAI" The STAT field will reflect if the external PV was found, the .VAL will reflect its value.
