Re: EPICS BOY saying EPICS PV is disconnected even though to can be read through the terminal with no issues

["Kasemir, Kay" <kasemirk@ornl.gov>]

Hi again:

Check the menu CSS/Preferences/CSS Core/EPICS for the auto addr. list and
addr list settings.

How do the settings compare to the EPICS_CA_*_ADDR_LIST environment
variables used by the command-line caget?

What if you de-select auto_addr_list and set the address list to the IP of
one of your IOCs? Do you then see the PVs on there?

What if you de-select auto_addr_list and set the address list to the IP of a
broadcast address that includes one of your IOCs?

Thanks,
Kay
