Your error indicates that pvs[0] is a different type of value than the function expects to find.


How are you creating the pvs list? And/or could you print what pvs[0]'s type is right before the command on line 24?

The PV is a mbbo record.

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

23

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?
