Thanks for the continued help! Raw Soft Channel worked.


But I have one a new issue; and still one remaining:

  1. The mbbo xxVL fields appear to be ULONG, so the negative positions don't appear to be working correctly; i.e. -11 is shown as 4294967285
    1. Our desired setpoints are both positive & negative. Maybe this is why we were using the calcout. Is there a way around this?
  2. The mbbo PV & fields appear to be stuck in UDF_ALARM; not just on reboot, but also after making caputs
    1. I tried setting SCAN = "Passive"; I'm not certain this is appropriate, but it didn't seem to help anyways


Thoughts?
