Re: Events

[Ralph Lange <Ralph.Lange@bessy.de>]

By calling post_event() - or using an eventRecord that will call 
post_event() if processed.
(See sections 5.5 and 17.3.6 of the AppDevGuide.)

Note, though, that the mechanism is meant for having arbitrary numbers 
of records react on IOC global events.
For your example, the "other" calc record should probably rather CPP 
link to the VAL field of the first and compare it to 10, or CPP link to 
the STAT field of the first and compare it to the numerical equivalent 
of HIHI, depending on what exactly should trigger the "other" record's 
processing: the value being 10, or the status being HIHI. (Your mail was 
a bit inconsistent in that detail.)

Hope this helps,
Ralph
