Re: ai record with dtyp of "raw soft channel"

[Dirk Zimoch <dirk.zimoch@psi.ch>]

Hi Patrik,

I tried it and it works. You did not try to set the INP link to the RVAL field 
of the other record (which is not Raw Soft Channel), did you?
Also keep in mind that the RVAL field is an integer. Thus pointing the INP to a 
double field will round the value (eventually to 0).
