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

[Adam Gluck <adam.gluck@ni.com>]

Hello Kay,

Thanks for the advice but setting the
IP address did not help, I am just trying to access the variables on my
own machine and have tried localhost and 127.0.0.1. I did try the logging
method and saw at first I was not linking correctly to a shared library,
but was able to fix the and no longer have the error. I don't see any error
message about the PV other then it saying it is disconnected. I am attaching
my log file to see if that might help. Thanks once again for the help.

Cheers,

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
