Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

Hi,

 

I am trying to run some tests using the simulation mode utility of ai/ao records, using base version 3.15.7. I noticed that my SIOL fields are getting cut off for the record under test.

I intend to define SIOL for my record as follows:

VSRC_SIM_RF:RFC_N0001:PHA_CSET_DDZN_HW CP MS

What I get back from channel access is:
VSRC_SIM_RF:RFC_N0001:PHA_CSET_DDZN_HW #<-Trailing space

 

Is it correct that SIOL only holds 40 characters, or is this merely a cosmetic trait when the value is pulled from channel access? It wasn’t entirely clear upon a cursory glance at epics-base.
