Subject: Using sCalcout record
From: Chanaka De Silva <[email protected]>

Dear, all

I am in need of developing an alarm variable using the sCalcout record.

I plan to input two variables that are defined as follows.

1. 
grecord(stringout,"beam_state")

2. 
record(bi, "$(DEVICE):State")
{
       field(DESC, "Power Supply On/Off Status")
       field(DTYP, "stream")
       field(INP, "@genesys.proto PSU-getonoff $(IP)")
       field(ZNAM, "OFF")
       field(ONAM, "ON")
       field(ZSV,  "MAJOR")
       field(OSV,  "NO_ALARM")
       field(PINI, "YES")
       field(FLNK, "$(DEVICE):Limits")
}

I decided to use sCalcout since both of these variables output strings.

For example;

The first record outputs; "At Injection"
The second record outputs; "ON"

I looked up the documentation and could not figure out what is the best approach to write a record to define an alarm variable; let's say

record(scalcout, warning_BeamInjection){
 ......
 ......
 ......
}

I plan to have 1 or 0 assigned to this alarm variable, so that I can set my HIHI alarm to sit at "1". 

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks, Chanaka.
