Re: phoebus LED in boolean button

Many thanks Yong,
This is what I was searching; it turns out that my error is using pvInt0 instead of pv0.
Best wishes,
Pierrick

Hi Pierrick,

 

For a Boolean Button in CS-Studio, there are default colors for “Off Color” and “On Color”. To change default color of “Off Color” to red, I use the Rule as shown in the attached screenshot: LN-DG{SCR:1}Pos-I  is a readback PV (mbbi in my case); when its value is 2, the Off Color of the setpoint PV “LN-DG{FRC:1}In-Cmd” (a bo record, a Boolean Button) is changed to red. Of course, we can use a similar rule to change the color of “On Color”. Search “Rule” in CS-Studio Help Contents (See attached another screenshot).

 

I have not tested my case in Phoebus yet.

 

HTH,

Yong

Hi Adam,
My apologies if I'm not being clear.  The LED in the boolean button follows the setting (bo) record.
I'd still like the button to set the bo record; however, I'd like the read record (in my case a bi) to
control the color of the LED in the boolean button.  I suspected that this could be done with a
rule, since the rules allow for the input of additional PVs for controlling the appearance of the
button.
Thanks again,
Pierrick

Hi Pierrick,

 

If you just want the Boolean Button(Top on the picture, its one of the options in the phoebus designer under controls), you can just place your BO record in the PV name.  This will control your BO value as well as show its state in the led.

Thank you Adamandios,
Presently, I'm doing exactly as you suggest, which is to have a separate LED connected to the read (bi) record and
the button controlled by the bo record.  But what I'd prefer is to dispose of the 2nd LED and simply use the LED in
the boolean button to indicate the read record's value.
Cheers,
Pierrick

Hi Pierrick,

 

If I understand correctly you should be able to have a Boolean button in CSS and place the PV name of the BO record in the PV name property.  When you run your GUI the button press will cause the BO to change state Off/On (0/1) in your record.  The Boolean Button in CSS actually has an LED in it but you could just have an LED in CSS that has the BO record PV name as well.  This would mimic whatever the Boolean button is set to, similar to what I have below (top is Boolean button, bottom is led) both set to loc://button (this would be your pv name in the pv property for each).  If you plan to have your button write out to a device and then your bi will read from the device then just change pv property for led to that bi record name.

Good evening,

I'd like to use the boolean button to turn off/on a device with on bo record, e.g. setOffOn and change the LED color based on another bi record; e.g. readOffOn.  I assumed that I could create a rule for this, but nothing I'm doing is working. How does one normally do this?

Many thanks,

Pierrick
