When configuring a Labview EPICS Server I/O Server, one is able to select from more data types than are available when configuring a Labview EPICS Server I/O Client. For example, you can create a network-published shared variable with a data type: array of booleans, and link it to an EPICS PV, but when trying to create a corresponding PV in the client, there is no option for the data type: array of booleans. The same situation exists for unsigned integers, etc.

 

Does anyone have experience working around this? There is an “Auto” data type available in the Client configuration, but I am leery of using it, especially since I can’t find detailed documentation regarding it. Any help would be appreciated.
