Re: [EXTERNAL] CSS Toggle button advice

The toggle button interfaces to a boolean PV, which is basically an enum PV with two states.

Create an mbbo record on the IOC, either add it to your existing IOC, or to a new soft IOC, which has two states and uses 000000 for the zero value, 111111 for the one value.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] CSS Toggle button advice

 

Hello,

I would like to create a toggle button that sends 111111 when pressed
and 000000 when depressed to a PV that in turned sends a command to a
device using StreamDevice. I am not sure how to do this because the only
toggle type widget available in CSS is a boolean button which can send 1
or 0. Could I do this using a padding in the device proto file, but how
to make the padding depended on the input?
Any advice how this can be achieved would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
