Re: Record issue - to set aother record value

["Pearson, Matthew R." <pearsonmr@ornl.gov>]

Hi,

You could use a stringout record forward linked from each calcrange record, like:

record(acalcout, "$(dev):calcrange1")
{
    
     field(FLNK, "$(dev):calcrange1_EGU")
}

record(stringout, "$(dev):calcrange1_EGU")
{
    field(VAL, "mA")
    field(OUT, "$(dev):trueval.EGU PP")
}


Cheers,
Matt
