Re: using et_wish for temperature monitoring

[Pete Jemian <jemian@anl.gov>]

where temp_val1 is a Tcl variable which value is an EPICS PV
and statement is the name of a Tcl procedure:

change::

   pv linkw temp temp_val1
   pv cmon temp statement

to::

   pv linkw temp temp_val1
   pv umon temp statement

"umon" starts channel access monitor(s)
"cmon" clears channel access monitor (s)

[note: the documentation page does not make this clear, it seems]

see:
