Hi Maurizio,

this seems a much better approach.
I have a stringin record with INP field getting PV from CA link, but it is missing IVOA/IVOV fields (available in stringout).
I can switch to stringout but how can I retrieve my PV value via CA link?

Thanks again,

Luca

Dear Luca,

the IVOA/IVOV mechanism should be the correct way to solve your problem,
no need of external modules.

* IVOA (Invalid Output Action) selects what to do in case the record
gets INVALID.
* IVOV (Invalid Output Value) is a CONSTANT holding the value that
should be used when the record is INVALID.

The connection going down should always put the record in LINK INVALID.

I had a similar situation and Ralph Lange pointed me to this solution
(thanks a lot Ralph!).

Cheers,

- Maurizio

Dear all, I have a string input record which value is retrieved via CA link. When remote PV is not available (e.g. missing IOC) I would like to set "EMPTY" as string input value. My idea is to use scalcout record from synApps with CA link connected to INAA and IAAV connected to INPA, defining the output by checking INPA value and selecting INAA (Ext PV OK) or "EMPTY" constant (Ext PN NC). Before adding scalcout record to my IOC I would like to know if this is a good approach. Is there a simpler solution? Thanks, Luca
