Subject: error calling PVUtil.getString()

In a CSS BOY OPI I am calling PVUtil.getString() from a script attached to my OPI. I am passing it one of the script’s PV values:

Line

…

22 from org.csstudio.opibuilder.scriptUtil import PVUtil, ScriptUtil

24 sensor_type = PVUtil.getString(pvs[0])

…

However I am getting the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "scripts/lakeshore_input_setup_monitor.py.py", line 24, in <module>

TypeError: getString(): 1st arg can't be coerced to org.csstudio.simplepv.IPV

What does this mean?
