Subject: [EXTERNAL] Sequencer interpretation of PV names with {,} characters
Hello,
The PV names I would like to link to have {, } inside their names, e.g “XF:BM-ES{Psh_blade1}Pos”.
It appears that the sequencer module does not like the curly brackets.
The PV name inside my runTest.st file compiles well, but when I run the sequencer, the PV in question does not connect, with errors:
sevr=minor runTest[0](after 0 sec): assigned=1, connected=0, monitored=1, got monitor=0
Everything works if a PV does not have {} in its name.
I was wondering if someone could comment on it, where it could be happening, and if it is possible to patch may be.
Thank you
Oksana
