I'm stumped on finding a working example.
I would like to put a long text string into a waveform PV and simply display it using CaQtDM. I believe that I've got the string working since I can access it from other parts of the program. The caMultiLineString widget suggests that it can display a waveform character string as text. But it's not working out.
I'm using the python softioc builder.
from softioc import builder
import numpy as np
a_PV = builder.Waveform("name",length=999,datatype=np.str)
a_PV.set("This is some text")
print(bytes(bytearray(a_PV.get())).decode('ascii'))
But it's not clear how to make that string display in CaQtDM.
Any suggestions? Is there a complete example I could look at?
