CA Lab Put VI

This is a polymorphic VI for writing values to EPICS variables.

INPUT:

• PV Name
• Name(s) of EPICS variable OR string array of EPICS variable names
• Value(s)
  • Boolean (array 1D/2D), String (array 1D/2D), Single (array 1D/2D), Double (array 1D/2D), Byte signed integer(array 1D/2D), Word signed integer(array 1D/2D), Quad signed integer(array 1D/2D)
    →2D array of values only fits together with 1D array of PV names!
  • Attention: Mixed target data types arise as a result of a 2-D array of size (number of names) multiplied by (size of largest data type)!
• Timeout (3)
• Optional
• Timeout for Channel Access requests in seconds (1-255)
• Default value: 3 seconds
• wait (F)
• Optional
• TRUE=The VI waits until the process receives a read-back value.
• FALSE=The VI returns immediately after initiating the write. (DEFAULT)
• Note: Old projects that use the deprecated "fire and forget" feature in caLabPut, are no longer compatible!
• variable PV names (T)
• optional
• true: in the case of changing PV names at PV name input (performance drop)
• false: in the case of static PV names (best performance)
• Error in (no error)

OUTPUT:

• PV Name (dup)
• Name(s) of EPICS variable OR string array of EPICS variable names
• Status
• FALSE: request(s) successful
• TRUE: warnings or errors
• Errors
• Array of errors for every PV
• Result of Channel Access communication
• Error status
• Error code (value 1 stands for success because we use the EPICS nomenclature)
• Error source (message)
• Error out
• Global I/O error
