| Subject: | EDM string/text PVs: what is one supposed to return for type and specific type? |

Hi,I am trying to write a PV object extension for EDM that needs to support text/string data. It is not clear what type and specific type I should be returning from get_type() and get_specific_type(). An obvious candidate would be ProcessVariable::Type::text and its specific analog ProcessVariable::specificType::text, are that the correct types? What about the size and description fields in the two type structures?
Thanks, Carl
