Re: [EXTERNAL] Phoebus EDM autoconvert issue with a button widget

Hi:

 

In your example EDM files, the “activeButtonClass” objects contain “controlBitPos” values to select a bit.

The converter looks for “controlBitsPos”, https://github.com/ControlSystemStudio/phoebus/blob/d1183073c5929fbc454ef47dfcbdbce28cc7cd11/app/display/convert-edm/src/main/java/org/csstudio/display/converter/edm/widgets/Convert_activeButtonClass.java#L30

 

Looks like a typo that went unnoticed because nobody has tried to convert EDM files with bit-buttons before.

 

Check https://github.com/ControlSystemStudio/phoebus/issues/2832 for updates

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Phoebus EDM autoconvert issue with a button widget

Hi all,

 

I'm trying to autoconvert an EDM file (.edl) to Phoebus (.bob) using the

Phoebus autoconvert feature. 

 

It's mostly working, but the autoconverter doesn't seem to understand the 

EDM Button Widget "Bit" field, in which it lets you set a single bit in a PV. 

 

When I autoconvert this file, the generated .bob doesn't contain that information

and sets all buttons to the default bit "0".

 

I created a simple github repository with a minimal screen to reproduce the issue,

with some instructions: https://github.com/lerwys/edm_autoconvert_issue

 

I'm using Phoebus 4.7.3-SNAPSHOT, build "master 2023-07-25 14:51"

 

Has anybody encountered a similar issue?

 

Thanks,

 

Lucas
