Hello,

I would like to create a stringin PV that takes an aiRecord and format
it. For example, ai could be the number of clock ticks, while the
stringIn is the formatted date.

1/ I want a simple solution with standard records
2/ I need to link the stringin to the ai

I immediately thought that putting the ai in the inp field and declaring
the device as device(stringin, PV_LINK, <dsetCode>,
<dsetStringIdentifier>) would do the trick.
But dbGetLink(psi->inp,..., &localVariable, ..., DBF_DOUBLE,...,0,0) (or
something like that) complains that inp has an invalid type. 

How can I link the stringin to the ai correctly ?
