Hi Kay

According to 'cainfo' my pv is a DBF_DOUBLE and request is DBR_DOUBLE

But I do not know how to check for output with the 'print' statement..I'm using Mint 18 and CSS is started without a terminal command (am I doing something wrong?)

I do have a 'console' output but that just list dozens of 'Warnings' all over.

I would love to have some way to debug CSS as otherwise its like shooting in the dark.

Hi:

What's the data type of the PV?

To debug, try adding

 

  print(str(pv.read()))

and then check in the terminal where you started CSS for the output.

Subject: CSS-4.5 : Display-Builder : getting widget's PV value

 

Hi

My code :

1.     from org.csstudio.display.builder.runtime.script import PVUtil, ScriptUtil
2.     from org.csstudio.display.builder.model.properties import WidgetColor
3.     ss = ScriptUtil.findWidgetByName(widget, "ss_range")
4.     sx = ScriptUtil.findWidgetByName(widget, "rangeX")
5.     pv = ScriptUtil.getPrimaryPV(sx)
6.     pval = PVUtil.getDouble(pv)
7.     ss.setPropertyValue("text", str(pv) + " : " + str(pval))    ##

##  'pv' returns the right pv attached to my 'spinner'. This pv is passed via the script as '$(pv_name)'

##  pval returns 'nan' although my 'spinner' displays the value (1 to 6) depending my last selected value

Thanks

Amien
