RE: camonitor not updating when PV changed

What version of EPICS base?

 

Are you sure you are running the version of camonitor you think you are running.  Try:

 

which camonitor

 

also

 

cainfo Sys{Dev}OLDMOV

Subject: camonitor not updating when PV changed

 

Hi, I am having a problem where I write to a PV and it is not being detected by camonitor. The PV in question is defined like this:

record (bo, "$(Sys)$(Dev)OLDMOV")
{
}

I run camonitor and see this

$ camonitor Sys{Dev}OLDMOV
Sys{Dev}OLDMOV 2018-03-28 13:09:09.227050 1

So far so good.

When I do caput Sys{Dev}OLDMOV 0, I see:
Old : Sys{Dev}OLDMOV 1
New : Sys{Dev}OLDMOV 0

However, camonitor does not update. But if I close camonitor and open it up again, it says:

Sys{Dev}OLDMOV 2018-03-28 13:23:48.628131 0

Why didn't the value on camonitor update to the correct value until I restarted camonitor?
