There's certainly a way to do this with base, but on an APS beamline, I would do it like this:


devIocStats maintains a time-of-day string PV, here called xxx:TOD, which updates every second.  When the _expression_ xxx:TOD=="00:00:00" changes value, the string calc writes that value to the calcout record's B field, and causes it to process.  This sets the calcout record's VAL field to -1 when TOD=="00:00:00", and then to 0 when TOD=="00:00:01".  Otherwise, the calcout record's VAL field increments whenever it's processed.

Hi all,
I'd like to create a database record that counts based on a forward link. This record would need to reset back to zero 
at 12AM every day. 

Use case, is where a beam line user hits a reset button repeatably (tied to a bo record) as a work around for something that is broken.
I'd like to track these resets.

Is there a way to do this with base?
I'm considering writing a C subroutine for this is it doesn't already exist.

Cheers!
