Hi all I would like to understand one thing. I looked at the EPICS dbd file of bi record and i found these field(ZSV,DBF_MENU) { prompt("Zero Error Severity") promptgroup(GUI_ALARMS) pp(TRUE) interest(1) menu(menuAlarmSevr) } field(OSV,DBF_MENU) { prompt("One Error Severity") promptgroup(GUI_BITS1) pp(TRUE) interest(1) menu(menuAlarmSevr) } field(COSV,DBF_MENU) { prompt("Change of State Svr") promptgroup(GUI_BITS2) pp(TRUE) interest(1) menu(menuAlarmSevr) } field(ZNAM,DBF_STRING) { prompt("Zero Name") promptgroup(GUI_CALC) pp(TRUE) interest(1) size(26) } field(ONAM,DBF_STRING) { prompt("One Name") promptgroup(GUI_CLOCK) pp(TRUE) interest(1) size(26) } So my question is why OSV and COSV are not part of GUI_ALARM and why ZNAM and ONAM are not in the same promptgroup, why one is in GUI_CALC, and the other one in GUI_CLOCK Note that the mbbi/mbbo record types have for XXVL adn XXST promptgroup set GUI_BITS. Also XXSV are in GUI_BITS and not GUI_ALARM Thanks for clarification, the reason is wanted to group the different fields: the promptgroup was a good start but sometimes quite hard to follow. Lana |
