Hi Kay,
As an addendum to your mention of IRMIS-type data on EPICS PVs, the
IRMIS 2 Global Search Tool (GST) provides information on a PV’s optional
alias names (if alias names have been defined) and links to more information about
that PV’s IOC and AOIs (please see picture below of IRMIS 2 GST).
Regards,
Debby

Subject: Re: command line tool to list all field values of a Record ?
Hi:
As mentioned, Channel Access doesn't tell you what fields a record
might
have. You have to parse the DBD file that your IOC loaded.
> Yes, CSS includes PVTree which is similar.
The CSS PV Tree,
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/cs-studio/wiki/EPICSPVTree, uses
Channel
Access to read .RTYP, then uses a configurable table to read more
fields
depending on the record type, for example INPA, INPB, INPC, ... for
calc
records, and tries to figure out if those in turn contain what looks
like
another record name, which it then reads recursively.
In addition we have a "PV Fields" tool for CSS, see
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/cs-studio/wiki/PVFieldsViewer ,
that displays all the configured fields of a record,
Value in the original DB file as well as current value,
based on IRMIS-type data in the RDB.
Thanks,
Kay
