=title Binary Input Record (bi)
This record type is normally used to obtain a binary value of 0 or 1. Most
device support modules obtain values from hardware and place the value in
RVAL. For these devices, record processing sets VAL = (0,1) if RVAL is (0,
not 0). Device support modules may optionally read a value directly from
VAL.
Soft device modules are provided to obtain input via database or channel
access links via dbPutField or dbPutLink requests. Two soft device support
modules are provided: C<Soft Channel> and C<Raw Soft Channel>. The first
allows VAL to be an arbitrary unsigned short integer. The second reads the
value into RVAL just like normal hardware modules.
=head2 Parameter Fields
The binary input's fields fall into the following categories:

=head3 Scan Parameters
The binary input record has the standard fields for specifying under what
circumstances the record will be processed. These fields are listed in
L<Scan Fields>. In addition, L<Scanning Specification> explains how these
fields are used. Note that I/O event scanning is only supported for those
card types that interrupt.
=fields SCAN
=head3 Read and Convert Parameters
The read and convert fields determine where the binary input gets its
input from and how to convert the raw signal to engineering units. The INP
field contains the address from where device support retrieves the value.
If the binary input record gets its value from hardware, the address of the
card must be entered in the INP field, and the name of the device support
module must be entered in the DTYP field. See L<Address Specification> for
information on the format of the hardware address. Be aware that the format
differs between types of cards. You can see a list of device support
modules currently supported at the user's local site by using C<dbst>
utility (R3.13).
For records that specify C<Soft Channel> or C<Raw Soft Channel> device
support routines, the INP field can be a channel or a database link, or a
constant. If a constant, VAL can be changed directly by dbPuts. See
L<Address Specification> for information on the format of database and
channel access addresses. Also, see L<Device Support for Soft Records> in
this chapter for information on soft device support.
If the record gets its values from hardware or uses the C<Raw Soft Channel>
device support, the device support routines place the value in the RVAL
field which is then converted using the process described in the next
section.
=fields INP, DTYP, ZNAM, ONAM, RVAL, VAL
=head3 Conversion Fields
The VAL field is set equal to (0,1) if the RVAL field is (0, not 0), unless
the device support module reads a value directly into VAL or the
C<Soft Channel> device support is used. The value can also be fetched as one of
the strings specified in the ZNAM or ONAM fields. The ZNAM field has a
string that corresponds to the 0 state, so when the value is fetched as
this string, C<put_enum_str> will return a 0. The ONAM field hold the
string that corresponds to the 1 state, so when the value is fetched as
this string, C<put_enum_str> returns a 1.
=fields ZNAM, ONAM
=head3 Operator Display Parameters
These parameters are used to present meaningful data to the operator. The
C<get_enum_str> record support routine can retrieve the state string
corresponding to the VAL's state. If the value is 1, C<get_enum_str> will
return the string in the ONAM field; and if 0, C<get_enum_str> will return
the ZNAM string.
See L<Fields Common to All Record Types> for more on the record name (NAME)
and description (DESC) fields.
=fields ZNAM, ONAM, NAME, DESC
=head3 Alarm Parameters
These parameters are used to determine if the binary input is in alarm
condition and to determine the severity of that condition. The possible
alarm conditions for binary inputs are the SCAN, READ state alarms, and the
change of state alarm. The SCAN and READ alarms are called by the device
supprt routines.
The user can choose the severity of each state in the ZSV and OSV fields.
The possible values for these fields are C<NO_ALARM>, C<MINOR>, and
C<MAJOR>. The ZSV field holds the severity for the zero state; OSV, for
the one state. COSV causes an alarm whenever the state changes between
0 and 1 and the severity is configured as MINOR or MAJOR.
See L<Alarm Specification> for a complete explanation of the discrete alarm
states. L<Alarm Fields> lists other fields related to alarms that are
common to all record types.
=fields ZSV, OSV, COSV
=head3 Run-time Parameters and Simulation Mode Parameters
These parameters are used by the run-time code for processing the binary
input. They are not configured using a database configuration tool.
ORAW is used to determine if monitors should be triggered for RVAL at the same
time they are triggered for VAL.
MASK is given a value by ithe device support routines. This value is used to
manipulate the record's value, but is only the concern of the hardware device
support routines.
The LALM fields holds the value of the last occurence of the change of
state alarm. It is used to implement the change of state alarm, and thus
only has meaning if COSV is MAJOR or MINOR.
The MSLT field is used by the C<process> record support routine to
determine if archive and value change monitors are invoked. They are if MSLT
is not equal to VAL.
=fields ORAW, MASK, LALM, MLST
The following fields are used to operate the binary input in simulation
mode. See L<Fields Common to Many Record Types> for more information on
these fields.

=head2 Device Support
=head3 Fields of Interest to Device Support
Each binary input record must have an associated set of device support
routines. The primary resposibility of the device support routines is to
obtain a new raw input value whenever C<read_bi> is called. The device
support routines are primarily interested in the following fields:
=fields PACT, DPVT, UDF, NSEV, NSTA, VAL, INP, RVAL, MASK
=head3 Device Support routines
Device support consists of the following routines:
=head2 C<report(FILE fp, paddr)>
Not currently used.
=head2 C<init()>
This routine is called once during IOC initialization.
=head2 C<init_record(precord)>
This routine is optional. If provided, it is called by the record support
C<init_record> routine.
=head2 C<get_ioint_info(int cmd, struct dbCommon *precord, IOSCANPVT *ppvt)>
This routine is called by the C<ioEventScan> system each time the record is
added or deleted from an I/O event scan list. C<cmd> has the value (0,1) if
the record is being (added to, deleted from) and I/O event list. It must be
provided for any device type that can use the ioEvent scanner.
=head2 C<read_bi(precord)>
This routine must provide a new input value. It returns the following
values:
=over
=item 0:
Success. A new raw value is placed in RVAL. The record support module
forces VAL to be (0,1) if RVAL is (0, not 0).
=item 2:
Success, but don't modify VAL.
=item Other:
Error.
=back
=head3 Device Support for Soft Records
Two soft device support modules, Soft Channel and Raw Soft Channel, are
provided for input records not related to actual hardware devices. The INP
link type must be either CONSTANT, DB_LINK, or CA_LINK.
=head3 Soft Channel
C<read_bi> always returns a value of 2, which means that no conversion is
performed.
If the INP link type is CONSTANT, then the constant value is stored in VAL
by C<init_record>, and the UDF is set to FALSE. VAL can be changed via
C<dbPut> requests. If the INP link type is PV_LINK, the C<dbCaAddInlink> is
called by C<init_record>.
C<read_bi> calls C<recGbleGetLinkValue> to read the current value of VAL.
See L<Soft Input> for details.
If the return status of C<recGblGetLinkValue> is zero, then C<read_bi> sets
UDF to FALSE. The status of C<recGblGetLinkValue> is returned.
=head3 Raw Soft Channel
This module is like the previous except that values are read into RVAL.
C<read_bi> returns a value of 0. Thus the record processing routine will
force VAL to be 0 or 1.

=title Binary Output Record (bo)
The normal use for this record type is to store a simple bit (0 or 1) value
to be sent to a Digital Output module. It can also be used to write binary
values into other records via database or channel access links. This record
can implement both latched and momentary binary outputs depending on how
the HIGH field is configured.
=head2 Parameter Fields

=item *
convert and write parameters
=item *

recordtype(bo) {
=head3 Scan Parameters
The binary output record has the standard fields for specifying under what
circumstances the record will be processed. The fields are listed in
L<Scan Fields>. In addition, L<Scanning Specification> explains how these
fields are used. Note that I/O event scanning is only supported for those card
types that interrupt.
=fields SCAN
=head3 Desired Output Parameters
The binary output record must specify where its desired output originates.
The desired output needs to be in engineering units.
The first field that determines where the desired output originates is the
output mode select (OMSL) field, which can have two possible values:
C<losed_loop> or C<supervisory>. If C<supervisory> is specified, the value
in the VAL field can be set externally via dbPuts at run-time. If
C<closed_loop> is specified, the VAL field's value is obtained from the
address specified in the desired output location (DOL) field which can be a
database link, a channel access link, or a constant. To achieve continuous
control, a database link to a control algorithm record should be entered in
the DOL field.
L<Address Specification> presents more information on database addresses
and links. L<Scanning Specification> explaines the effect of database
linkage on scanning.
=fields DOL, OMSL
=head3 Convert and Write Parameters
These parameters are used to determine where the binary output writes to
and how to convert the engineering units to a raw signal. After VAL is set
and forced to be either 1 or 0, as the result of either a dbPut or a new
value being retrieved from the link in the DOL field, then what happens
next depends on which device support routine is used and how the HIGH field
is configured.
If the C<Soft Channel> device support routine is specified, then the device
support routine writes the VAL field's value to the address specified in
the OUT field. Otherwise, RVAL is the value written by the device support
routines after being converted.
If VAL is equal to 0, then the record processing routine sets RVAL equal to
zero. When VAL is not equal to 0, then RVAL is set equal to the value
contained in the MASK field. (MASK is set by the device support routines
and is of no concern to the user.) Also, when VAL is not 0 and after RVAL is
set equal to MASK, the record processing routine checks to see if the HIGH
field is greater than 0. If it is, then the routine will process the record
again with VAL set to 0 after the number of seconds specified by HIGH.
Thus, HIGH implements a momentary output which changes the state of the
device back to 0 after I<N> number of seconds.
=fields DTYP, OUT, VAL, RVAL, HIGH, ZNAM, ONAM
=head3 Conversion Parameters
The ZNAM field has the string that corresponds to the 0 state, and the ONAM
field holds the string that corresponds to the 1 state. These fields, other
than being used to tell the operator what each state represents, are used
to perform conversions if the value fetched by DOL is a string. If it is,
VAL is set to the state which corresponds to that string. For instance, if the
value fetched is the string "Off" and the ZNAM string is "Off," then VAL is
set to 0.
After VAL is set, if VAL is equal to 0, then the record processing routine
sets RVAL equal to zero. When VAL is not equal to 0, then RVAL is set equal
to the value contained in the MASK field. (Mask is set by the device
support routines and is of no concern to the user.) Also when VAL is equal
to 1 and after RVAL is set equal to MASK, the record processing routine checks
to see if the HIGH field is greater than 0. If it is, then the routine
processes the record again with VAL=0 after the number of seconds specified
by HIGH. Thus, HIGH implements a latched output which changes the state of
the device or link to 1, then changes it back to 0 after I<N> number of seconds.
=fields ZNAM, ONAM, HIGH
=head3 Output Specification
The OUT field specifies where the binary output record writes its output.
It must specify the address of an I/O card if the record sends its output
to hardware, and the DTYP field must contain the corresponding device
support module. Be aware that the address format differs according to the
I/O bus used. See L<Address Specification> for information on the format of
hardware addresses. You can see a list of device support modules currently
supported at the user's local site by using the C<dbst> utility in R3.13.
Otherwise, if the record is configured to use the soft device support
modules, then it can be either a database link, a channel access link, or a
constant. Be aware that nothing will be written when OUT is a constant. See
L<Address Specification> for information on the format of the database and
channel access addresses. Also, see L<Device Support For Soft Records> in
this chapter for more on output to other records.
=head3 Operator Display Parameters
These parameters are used to present meaningful data to the operator, The
C<get_enum_str> record support routine can retrieve the state string
corresponding to the VAL's state. So, if the value is 1, C<get_enum_str>
will return the string in the ONAM field: and if 0, C<get_enum_str> will
return the ZNAM string.
See L<Fields Common to All Record Types> for more on the record name (NAME)
and description (DESC) fields.
=fields ZNAM, ONAM, NAME, DESC
=head3 Alarm Parameters
These parameters are used to determine the binary output's alarm condition
and to determine the severity of that condition. The possible alarm
conditions for binary outputs are the SCAN, READ, INVALID and state alarms.
The user can configure the state alarm conditions using these fields.
The possible values for these fields are C<NO_ALARM>, C<MINOR>, and
C<MAJOR>. The ZSV holds the severity for the zero state; OSV for the one
state. COSV is used to cause an alarm whenever the state changes between
states (0-1, 1-0) and its severity is configured as MINOR or MAJOR.
See L<Invalid Alarm Output Action> for more information on the IVOA and
IVOV fields. L<Alarm Fields> lists other fields related to alarms that are
common to all record types.
=fields ZSV, OSV, COSV, IVOA, IVOV
=head3 Run-Time and Simulation Mode Parameters
These parameters are used by the run-time code for processiong the binary
output. They are not configurable using a configuration tool. They
represent the current state of the binary output.
ORAW is used to determine if monitors should be triggered for RVAL at the
same time they are triggered for VAL.
MASK is given a value by the device support routines and should not concern
the user.
The RBV field is also set by device support. It is the actual read back
value obtained from the hardware itself or from the associated device
driver.
The ORBV field is used to decide if monitors should be triggered
for RBV at the same time monitors are triggered for changes in VAL.
The LALM field holds the value of the last occurrence of the change of
state alarm. It is used to implement the change of state alarm, and thus
only has meaning if COSV is MINOR or MAJOR.
The MLST is used by the C<process> record support routine to determine if
archive and value change monitors are invoked. They are if MLST is not
equal to VAL.
The WPDT field is a private field for honoring seconds to hold HIGH.
=fields ORAW, MASK, RBV, ORBV, LALM, MLST, RPVT, WDPT
The following fields are used to operate the binary output in the
simulation mode. See L<Fields Common to Many Record Types> for more

=title Calculation Record (calc)
The calculation or "Calc" record is used to perform algebraic, relational,
and logical operations on values retrieved from other records. The result
of its operations can then be accessed by another record so that it can
then be used.

=over 1
=item *

read parameters

=item *

=item *

recordtype(calc) {
=head3 Scan Parameters
The Calc record has the standard fields for specifying under what
circumstances the record will be processed. These fields are listed in
L<Scan Fields>. In addition, L<Scanning Specification> explains how these
fields are used. Since the Calc record supports no direct interfaces to
hardware, it cannot be scanned on I/O interrupt, so its SCAN field cannot
be C<I/O Intr>.
=fields SCAN
=head3 Read Parameters
The read parameters for the Calc record consist of 12 input links INPA,
INPB, ... INPL. The fields can be database links, channel access links, or
constants. If they are links, they must specify another record's field or a
channel access link. If they are constants, they will be initialized with
the value they are configured with and can be changed via C<dbPuts>. They
cannot be hardware addresses.
See L<Address Specification> for information on how to specify database
links.
=fields INPA, INPB, INPC, INPD, INPE, INPF, INPG, INPH, INPI, INPJ, INPK, INPL
=head3 Expression
At the core of the Calc record lies the CALC and RPCL fields. The CALC field
contains the infix expresion which the record routine will use when it
processes the record. The resulting value is placed in the VAL field and
can be accessed from there. The CALC expression is actually converted to
opcode and stored as Reverse Polish Notation in the RPCL field. It is this
expression which is actually used to calculate VAL. The Reverse Polish
expression is evaluated more efficiently during run-time than an infix
expression. CALC can be changed at run-time, and a special record routine
calls a function to convert it to Reverse Polish Notation.
The infix expressions that can be used are very similar to the C expression
syntax, but with some additions and subtle differences in operator meaning
and precedence. The string may contain a series of expressions separated by
a semi-colon character ";" any one of which may actually provide the
calculation result; however, all of the other expressions included must
assign their result to a variable. All alphabetic elements described below
are case independent, so upper and lower case letters may be used and mixed
in the variable and function names as desired. Spaces may be used anywhere
within an expression except between characters that make up a single
expression element.
The range of expressions supported by the calculation record are separated
into literals, constants, operands, algebraic operators, trigonometric operators,
relational operators, logical operators, the assignment operator,
parentheses and commas, and the question mark or '?:' operator.

The expression uses the values retrieved from the INPx links as operands,
though constants can be used as operands too. These values retrieved from
the input links are stored in the A-L fields. The values to be used in the
expression are simply referenced by the field letter. For instance, the
value obtained from INPA link is stored in the field A, and the value
obtained from INPB is stored in field B. The field names can be included in
the expression which will operate on their respective values, as in A+B.
Also, the RNDM nullary function can be included as an operand in the
expression in order to generate a random number between 0 and 1.
=fields A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L
The keyword VAL returns the current contents of the VAL field (which can be
written to by a CA put, so it might I<not> be the result from the last time
the expression was evaluated).

=head3 Operator Display Parameters
These parameters are used to present meaningful data to the operator. These
fields are used to display VAL and other parameters of the calculation
record either textually or graphically.
The EGU field contains a string of up to 16 characters which is supplied by
the user and which describes the values being operated upon. The string is
retrieved whenever the routine C<get_units> is called. The EGU string is
solely for an operator's sake and does not have to be used.
The HOPR and LOPR fields only refer to the limits of the VAL, HIHI, HIGH,
LOW and LOLO fields. PREC controls the precision of the VAL field.
See L<Fields Common to All Record Types> for more on the record name (NAME)
and description (DESC) fields.
=fields EGU, PREC, HOPR, LOPR, NAME, DESC
=head3 Alarm Parameters
The possible alarm conditions for the Calc record are the SCAN, READ,
Calculation, and limit alarms. The SCAN and READ alarms are called by the
record support routines. The Calculation alarm is called by the record
processing routine when the CALC expression is an invalid one, upon which
an error message is generated.
The following alarm parameters which are configured by the user, define the
limit alarms for the VAL field and the severity corresponding to those
conditions.
The HYST field defines an alarm deadband for each limit. See L<Alarm Specification>
for a complete explanation of alarms of these fields. L<Alarm Fields>
lists other fields related to alarms that are common to all record types.
=fields HIHI, HIGH, LOW, LOLO, HHSV, HSV, LSV, LLSV, HYST
=head3 Monitor Parameters
These paramaeters are used to determine when to send monitors for the value
fields. These monitors are sent when the value field exceeds the last
monitored field by the appropriate deadband, the ADEL for archiver monitors
and the MDEL field for all other types of monitors. If these fields have a
value of zero, everytime the value changes, monitors are triggered; if they have a
value of -1, everytime the record is scanned, monitors are triggered. See
L<Monitor Specification> for a complete explanation of monitors.
=fields ADEL, MDEL
=head3 Run-time Parameters
These fields are not configurable using a configuration tool and none are
modifiable at run-time. They are used to process the record.
The LALM field is used to implement the hysteresis factor for the alarm
limits.
The LA-LL fields are used to decide when to trigger monitors for the
corresponding fields. For instance, if LA does not equal the value A,
monitors for A are triggered. The MLST and ALST fields are used in the same
manner for the VAL field.

=title Calculation Output Record (calcout)
The Calculation Output or "Calcout" record is similar to the Calc record
with the added feature of having outputs (an "output link" and an "output
event") which are conditionally executed based on the result of the
calculation. This feature allows conditional branching to be implemented
within an EPICS database (e.g. process Record_A only if Record_B has a
value of 0). The Calcout record is also similar to the Wait record (with
additional features) but uses EPICS standard INLINK and OUTLINK fields
rather than the DBF_STRING fields used in the Wait record. For new
databases, it is recommended that the Calcout record be used instead of the
Wait record.

=head3 Scan Parameters
The Calcout record has the standard fields for specifying under what
circumstances the record will be processed. The fields are listed in
L<Scan Fields>. In addition, L<Scanning Specification> explains how these
fields are used. Since the Calcout record supports no direct interfaces to
hardware, it cannot be scanned on I/O interrupt, so its SCAN field cannot
be C<I/O Intr>.
=head3 Read Parameters
The read parameters for the Calcout record consists of 12 input links INPA,
INPB, ... INPL. The fields can be database links, channel access links, or
constants. If they are links, they must specify another record's field. If
they are constants, they will be initialized with the value they are
configured with and can be changed via C<dbPuts>. These fields cannot be
hardware addresses. In addition, the Calcout record contains the INAV,
INBV, ... INLV fields which indicate the status of the link fields, for
example, whether or not the specified PV was found and a link to it
established. See L<Operator Display Parameters> for an explanation of these
fields.
See L<Address Specification> for information on how to specify database
links.
=fields INPA, INPB, INPC, INPD, INPE, INPF, INPG, INPH, INPI, INPJ, INPK, INPL
=head3 Expression
Like the Calc record, the Calcout record has a CALC field in which the
developer can enter an infix expression which the record routine will
evaluate when it processes the record. The resulting value is placed in the
VAL field. This value can then be used by the OOPT field (see
L<Output Parameters>) to determine whether or not to write to the output
link or post an output event. It can also be the value that is written to
the output link. The CALC expression is actually converted to opcode and
stored in Reverse Polish Notation in the RPCL field. It is this expression
which is actually used to calculate VAL. The Reverse Polish expression is
evaluated more efficiently during run-time than an infix expression. CALC
can be changes at run-time, and a special record routine will call a
function to convert it to Reverse Polish Notation.
The infix expressions that can be used are very similar to the C expression
syntax, but with some additions and subtle differences in operator meaning
and precedence. The string may contain a series of expressions separated by
a semi-colon character ';' any one of which may actually provide the
calculation result; however all of the other expressions included must
assign their result to a variable. All alphabetic elements described below
are case independent, so upper and lower case letters may be used and mixed
in the variable and function names as desired. Spaces may be used anywhere
within an expression except between the characters that make up a single
expression element.
The range of expressions supported by the calculation record are separated into
literals, constants, operands, algebraic operators, trigonometric operators,
relational operators, logical operator, the assignment operator,
parentheses and commas, and the question mark or '?:' operator.

=head3 Operands
The expression can use the values retrieved from the INPx links as
operands, though constants can be used as operands too. These values
retrieved from the input links are stored in the A-L fields. The values to
be used in the expression are simple references by the field letter. For
instance, the value obtained from the INPA link is stored in field A, and
the values obtained from the INPB link is stored in the field B. The names
can be included in the expression will operate on their respective values,
as in A+B.
=fields A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L
The keyword VAL returns the current contents of the expression's result
field, i.e. the VAL field for the CALC expression and the OVAL field for
the OCAL expression. (These fields can be written to by CA put, so it might
I<not> be the result from the last time the expression was evaluated).

=back
=head4 Menu calcoutDOPT
The DOPT field determines what data is written to the output link when the
output is executed. The field is a menu field with two options:
=menu calcoutDOPT
If C<Use CALC> is specified, when the record writes its
output it will write the result of the expression in the CALC field, that
is, it will write the value of the VAL field. If C<Use OCAL> is specified,
the record will instead write the result of the expresion in the OCAL
field, which is contained in the OVAL field. The OCAL field is exactly like
the CALC field and has the same fuctionality it can contain the string
representation of an expression which is evaluated at run-time. Thus, if
necessary, the record can use the result of the CALC expression to
determine if data should be written and can use the result of the OCAL
expression as the data to write.
If the OEVT field specifies a non-zero integer and the condition in the
OOPT field is met, the record will post a corresponding event. If the ODLY
field is non-zero, the record pauses for the specified number of seconds
before executing the OUT link or posting the output event. During this
waiting period the record is "active" and will not be processed again until
the wait is over. The field DLYA is equal to 1 during the delay period. The
resolution of the delay entry system dependent.
The IVOA field specifies what action to take with the OUT link if the
Calcout record eneters an INVALID alarm status. The options are
C<Continue normally>, C<Don't drive outputs>, and C<Set output to IVOV>.
If the IVOA field is C<Set output to IVOV>, the data entered into the
IVOV field is written to the OUT link if the record alarm severity is
INVALID.
=fields OUT, OOPT, DOPT, OCAL, OVAL, OEVT, ODLY, IVOA, IVOV
=head3 Operator Display Parameter
These parameters are used to present meaningful data to the operator. Some
are also meant to represent the status of the record at run-time.
The EGU field contains a string of up to 16 characters which is supplied by
the user and which describes the values being operated upon. The string is
retrieved whenever the routine C<get_units> is called. The EGU string is
solely for an operator's sake and does not have to be used.
The HOPR and LOPR fields on;y refer to the limits if the VAL, HIHI, HIGH,
LOW, and LOLO fields. PREC controls the precision of the VAL field.
=head4 Menu calcoutINAV
The INAV-INLV fields indicate the status of the link to the PVs specified
in the INPA-INPL fields, respectfully. These field can have four possible
values:
=menu calcoutINAV
=over 1
=item *
C<Ext PV NC> -- the PV wasn't found on this IOC and a Channel Access link
hasn't been established.
=item *
C<Ext PV OK> -- the PV wasn't found on this IOC and a Channel Access link
has been established.
=item *
C<Local PV> -- the PV was found on this IOC.
=item *
C<Constant> -- the corresponding link field is a constant.
=back
The OUTV field indicates the status of the OUT link. If has the same
possible values as the INAV-INLV fields.
The CLCV and OLCV fields indicate the validity of the expression in the
CALC and OCAL fields respectfully. If the expression in invalid, the field
is set to one.
The DYLA field is set to one during the delay specified in ODLY.
See L<Fields Common to All Record Types> for more information on the record
name (NAME) and description (DESC) fields.

an error message is generated.
The following alarm parametersi, which are configured by the user, define the
limit alarms for the VAL field and the severity corresponding to those
conditions.
The HYST field defines an alarm deadband for each limit. See
L<Alarm Specification> for a complete explanation of alarms and these
fields. C<Alarm Fields> lists other fields related to alarms that are

Call routine C<calcPerform()>, which calculates VAL from the prefix version
of the expression given in CALC. If C<calcPerform()> returns success, UDF
is set to FALSE.
=item 3.
Check alarms. This routine checks to see if the new VAL causes the alarm
status and severity to change. If so, NSEV, NSTA and LALM are set. If also
honors the alarm hysteresis factor (HYST). Thus the value must change by at
least HYST before the alarm status and severity changes.
=item 4.
Determin if the Output Execution Option (OOPT) is met. If it met, either
execute the output link (and output event) immediately (if ODLY = 0), or
schedule a callback after the specified interval. See the explanation for
the C<execOutput()> routine below.
=item 5.
Check to see if monitors should be invoked.

=item *
Alarm monitors are invoked if the alarm status or severity has changed.
=item *
Archive and value change monitors are invoked if ADEL and MDEL conditions
are met.
=item *
Monitors for A-L are checked whenever other monitors are invoked.
=item *
NSEV and NSTA are reset to 0

If no output delay was specified, scan forwark link if necessaru, set PACT
FALSE, and return.

If the Alarm Severity is INVALID, follow the option as designated by the
field IVOA.

=title Data Fanout Record (dfanout)
The Data Fanout or "dfanout" record is used to forward data to up to
eight other records. It's similar to the fanout record except that the
capability to forward data has been added to it. If has no associated
device support.
=head2 Parameter Fields

scan parameters
=item *
desired output parameters
=item *
write parameters
=item *
operator display parameters

=head3 Scan Parameters
The data fanout record has the standard fields for specifying under what
circumstances it will be processed. These fields are listed in
L<Scan Fields>. In addition, L<Scanning Specification> explains how these
fields are used. Since the data fanout record supports no direct interfaces
to hardware, it cannot be scanned on I/O interrupt, so its SCAN field
cannot be C<I/O Intr>.
=head3 Desired Output Parameters
The data fanout record must specify where the desired output value
originates, i.e., the data which is to be fowarded to the records in its
output links. The output mode select (OMSL) field determines whether the
output originates from another record or from run-time database access.
When set to C<closed_loop>, the desired output is retrieved from the link
specified in the desired output (DOL) field, which can specify either a
database or a channel access link, and placed into the VAL field. When set
to C<supervisory>, the desired output can be written to the VAL field via
dbPuts at run-time.
The DOL field can also be a constant in which case the VAL field is
initialized to the constant value.
Note that there are no conversion parameters, so the desired output value
undergoes no conversions before it is sent out to the output links.
=fields DOL, OMSL, VAL
=head3 Write Parameters
The OUTA-OUTH fields specify where VAL is to be sent. Each field that is to
forward data must specify an address to another record. See
L<Address Specification> for information on specifying links.
The SELL, SELM, and SELN fields specify which output links are to be
used.
=head4 Menu dfanoutSELM
SELM is a menu, with three choices:
=menu dfanoutSELM
If SELM=="All", then all output links are used, and the values of
SELL and SELN are ignored.
If SELM=="Specified", then the value of SELN is used to specify a single
link which will be used. If SELN==0, then no link will be used; if SELN==1,
then OUTA will be used, and so on.
SELN can either have its value set directly, or have its values retrieved
from another EPICS PV. If SELL is a valid PV link, then SELN will be set to
the values of the linked PV.
If SELM=="Mask", then SELN will be treated as a bit mask. If bit one of
SELN is set, then OUTA will be used, if bit two is set, OUTB will be used.
Thus if SELN==5, OUTC and OUTA will be used.
=fields OUTA, OUTB, OUTC, OUTD, OUTE, OUTF, OUTG, OUTH
=head3 Operator Display Parameters
These parameters are used to present meaningful data to the operator. They
display the value and other parameters of the data fanout record either
textually or graphically.
The EGU field can contain a string of up to 16 characters describing the
value on the VAL field.
The HOPR and LOPR fields determine the upper and lower display limits for
graphic displays and the upper and lower control limits for control
displays. They apply to the VAL, HIHI, HIGH, LOW, and LOLO fields. The
record support routines C<get_graphic_double> or C<get_control_double>
retrieve HOPR and LOPR.
See L<Fields Common to All Record Types> for more on the record name (NAME)
and description (DESC) fields.
=fields EGU, HOPR, LOPR, NAME, DESC
=head3 Alarm Parameters
The possible alarm conditions for data fanouts are the SCAN, READ, INVALID,
and limit alarms. The SCAN and READ alarms are called by the record
routines. The limit alarms are configured by the user in the HIHI, LOLO,
HIGH, and LOW fields using floating point values. The limit alarms apply
only to the VAL field. The severity for each of these limits is specified
in the corresponding field (HHSV, LLSV, HSV, LSV) and can be either
NO_ALARM, MINOR, or MAJOR. In the hysteresis field (HYST) can be entered a
number which serves as the deadband on the limit alarms.
See L<Alarm Specification> for a complete explanation of alarms and these
fields. L<Alarm Fields> lists other fields related to alarms that are
common to all record types.
=fields HIHI, HIGH, LOW, LOLO, HHSV, HSV, LSV, LLSV, HYST
=head3 Monitor Parameters
These parameters are used to determine when to send monitors placed on the
VAL field. These monitors are sent when the value field exceeds the last
monitored fields by the specified deadband, ADEL for archivers monitors and
MDEL for all other types of monitors. If these fields have a value of zero,
everytime the value changes, a monitor will be triggered; if they have a
value of -1, everytime the record is scanned, monitors are triggered. See
L<Monitor Specification> for a complete explanation of monitors.
=fields ADEL, MDEL
=head3 Run-Time Parameters and Simulation Mode Parameters
These parameters are used by the run-time code for processing the data
fanout record. Ther are not configurable. They are used to implement the
hysteresis factors for monitor callbacks.

=head3 Record Support Routines
=head2 C<init_record()>
This routine initializes all output links that are defined. Then it initializes
DOL if DOL is a constant or a PV_LINK. When initializing the output links
and the DOL link, a non-zero value is returned if an error occurs.
=head2 C<process()>
See next section.
=head2 C<get_value()>
This routine fills in the members of C<struct valueDes> with the VAL fields
value and characteristics.
=head2 C<get_units()>
The routine copies the string specified in the EGU field to the location
specified by a pointer which is passed to the routine.
=head2 C<get_graphic_double()>
If the referenced field is VAL, HIHI, HIGH, LOW, or LOLO, this routine sets
the C<upper_disp_limit> member of the C<dbr_grDouble> structure to the
HOPR and the C<lower_disp_limit> member to the LOPR. If the referenced
field is not one of the above fields, then C<recGblGetControlDouble()>
routine is called.
=head2 C<get_control_double()>
Same as the C<get_graphic_double> routine except that it uses the
C<dbr_ctrlDouble> structure.
=head2 C<get_alarm_double()>
This sets the members of the C<dbr_alDouble> structure to the specified
alarm limits if the referenced field is VAL:
=over
upper_alarm_limit = HIHI
upper_warning_limit = HIGH
lower_warning_limit = LOW
lower_alarm_limit = LOLO
=back
If the referenced field is not VAL, the C<recGblGetAlarmDouble()> routine
is called.
=head3 Record Processing
=over
=item 1.
The C<process()> routine first retrieves a value for DOL and places it in
VAL if OMSL is set to colsed loop mode. If an error occurs, then UDF is set
to FALSE.
=item 2.
PACT is set TRUE
=item 3.
VAL is then sent to all the records specified in the OUTA-OUTH fields by
calling C<recGblePutLinkValue()> for each link.
=item 4.
Alarms are checked and monitors are called if conditions apply.
=item 5.
The data fanout's own forward link is then processed.
=item 6.
PACT is set FALSE, and the C<process()> routine returns. A -1 is returned
if there was an error writing values to one of the output links.
