Subject: writing a value of a string PV to a waveform PV in another IOC

Hi,

What is the best way (without having to write anything more than EPICS database code) to copy the value of a string PV (stringout) hosted in one IOC to a waveform PV (char type) hosted by another PC?

I'm having problems trying to set the output link to a waveform PV name.

Thank you,

Ray
