Hello,
When I use the bob file with the PV name in the calc record
as IOC.userCalc1.CALC$. I am unable to enter more than one character in the calc field.
On changing it to IOC:userCalc1.CALC (in the bob file) I am able to enter the formula in the CALC field. I understand that $ symbol is used for long strings in the CALC field. In my case it is not working. however I am unable to have the calc field more than 36 characters.
This is true for all the CALC$ fields in the calc module. The moment I change the PV to .CALC, it is able to take more than 1 character.
It is not having any issues in storing and restoring the values using autosavebuild.
But when i include the userCalcs10_settings.req files in the scan1Menu.req, I am getting a following error when I load the the configuration
PVname saved_value live_value
=============================
*** IOC:userCalc1.CALC$ 'a/b' 'a'
This error vanishes if I replace the CALC$ with CALC in the req and bob files. The character count is reduced to 36. I see that the latest calcout record supports 80 characters of the CALC field?
I am using the latest version of SynApps and EPICS on Ubuntu OS. Please advise.
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Kuldeep
