Re: Problem in updating EGU field in CSS-BOY

[Shantonu Sahoo <ssahoo@vecc.gov.in>]

I am using EPICS base-3.14.12.5, CS-Studio 4.1.4 , Java Utilities 3.2.0. I am not sure about the version of CAJ. I am not using EPICS CA Gateway.

A feature to allow such updates of metadata has been added to EPICS Base and the Channel Access protocol recently.

What versions of EPICS Base (your IOC), CS-Studio (your client) and CAJ (the Java CA client library inside CS-Studio) are you using? Is there an EPICS CA Gateway involved? (If yes, what version?)

Thanks,

I am using CSS-BOY to display a process variable using "Text Update". I have checked the "Show Units" property. So, in addition to the VALue, it displays the string that is specified in the EGU field of the record. But, in the runtime, if the EGU field changes, it is not updated in the OPI until I do "Refresh OPI". In contrary, the VALue is updated smoothly.
