=title String Input Record (stringin)
|
|
|
|
The string input record retrieves an arbitrary ASCII string of up to 40
|
|
characters. Several device support routines are available, all of which are soft
|
|
device support for retrieving values from other records or other software
|
|
components.

|
=head2 Parameter Fields
|
|
|
|
The record-specific fields are described below, grouped by functionality.
|
|
|
|
=head3 Scan Parameters
|
|
|
|
The string input 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.
|
|
|
|
=head3 Read Parameters
|
|
|
|
The INP field determines where the string input record gets its string. It can
|
|
be a database or channel access link, or a constant. If constant, the VAL field
|
|
is initialized with the constant and can be changed via dbPuts. Otherwise, the
|
|
string is read from the specified location each time the record is processed and
|
|
placed in the VAL field. The maximum number of characters that the string in VAL
|
|
can be is 40. In addition, the appropriate device support module must be entered
|
|
into the DTYP field.
|
|
|
|
See L<Address Specification> for information on specifying links.
|
|
|

|

|
|
}
|
|
|
|
=head3 Monitor Parameters
|
|
|
|
These parameters are used to specify when the monitor post should be sent by
|
|
C<monitor()> routine. There are two possible choices:
|
|
|
|
=head4 Menu stringinPOST
|
|
|
|
=menu stringinPOST
|
|
|
|
APST is used for archiver monitors and MPST is for all other type of monitors.
|
|
|
|

|

See L<Fields Common to All Record Types> for more on the record name (NAME) and
|
|
description (DESC) fields.
|
|
|
|
=fields NAME, DESC
|
|
|
|
=head3 Alarm Parameters
|
|
|
|
The string input record has the alarm parameters common to all record types.
|
|
L<Alarm Fields> lists other fields related to a alarms that are common to all
|
|
record types.
|
|
|
|
=head3 Run-time and Simulation Mode Parameters
|
|
|
|
The old value field (OVAL) of the string input is used to implement value change
|
|
monitors for VAL. If VAL is not equal to OVAL, then monitors are triggered.
|
|
|
|
=fields OVAL
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following fields are used to operate the string input in the simulation
|
|
mode. See L<Simulation Mode> for more information on simulation mode fields.
|
|
|
|
=fields SIOL, SVAL, SIML, SIMM, SIMS
|
|

=head2 Record Support
|
|
|
|
=head3 Record Support Routines
|
|
|
|
=head4 init_record
|
|
|
|
long (*init_record)(struct dbCommon *precord, int pass)
|
|
|
|
This routine initializes SIMM with the value of SIML if SIML type is CONSTANT
|
|
link or creates a channel access link if SIML type is PV_LINK. SVAL is likewise
|
|
initialized if SIOL is CONSTANT or PV_LINK.
|
|
|
|
This routine next checks to see that device support is available and a record
|
|
support read routine is defined. If either does not exist, an error message is
|
|
issued and processing is terminated.
|
|
|
|
If device support includes an C<init_record()> routine it is called.
|
|
|
|
=head4 process
|
|
|
|
long (*process)(struct dbCommon *precord)
|
|
|
|
See L<Record Processing>.
|
|
|
|
=head3 Record Processing
|
|
|
|
Routine process implements the following algorithm:
|
|
|
|
=over
|
|
|
|
=item 1.
|
|
|
|
Check to see that the appropriate device support module exists. If it doesn't,
|
|
an error message is issued and processing is terminated with the PACT field
|
|
still set to TRUE. This ensures that processes will no longer be called for this
|
|
record. Thus error storms will not occur.
|
|
|
|
=item 2.
|
|
|
|
readValue is called. See L<Simulation Mode> for more information on simulation
|
|
mode fields and how they affect input.
|
|
|
|
=item 3.
|
|
|
|
If PACT has been changed to TRUE, the device support read routine has started
|
|
but has not completed reading a new input value. In this case, the processing
|
|
routine merely returns, leaving PACT TRUE.
|
|
|
|
=item 4.
|
|
|
|
C<recGblGetTimeStamp()> is called.
|
|
|
|
=item 5.
|
|
|
|
Check to see if monitors should be invoked.
|
|
|
|
=over
|
|
|
|
=item *
|
|
|
|
Alarm monitors are invoked if the alarm status or severity has changed.
|
|
|
|
=item *
|
|
|
|
Archive and value change monitors are invoked if OVAL is not equal to VAL.
|
|
|
|
=item *
|
|
|
|
NSEV and NSTA are reset to 0.
|
|
|
|
=back
|
|
|
|
=item 6.
|
|
|
|
Scan forward link if necessary, set PACT FALSE, and return.

=head2 Device Support
|
|
|
|
=head3 Fields Of Interest To Device Support
|
|
|
|
Each stringin input record must have an associated set of device support
|
|
routines. The primary responsibility of the device support routines is to obtain
|
|
a new ASCII string value whenever read_stringin is called. The device support
|
|
routines are primarily interested in the following fields:
|
|
|
|
=fields PACT, DPVT, UDF, VAL, INP
|
|
|
|
=head3 Device Support Routines (devSiSoft.c)
|
|
|
|
=head4 init_record
|
|
|
|
long init_record(stringinRecord *prec)
|
|
|
|
This routine is optional. If provided, it is called by the record support
|
|
C<init_record()> routine.
|
|
|
|
=head4 read_stringin
|
|
|
|
long read_stringin(stringinRecord *prec)
|
|
|
|
This routine must provide a new input value. It returns the following values:
|
|
|
|
=over
|
|
|
|
=item * 0: Success. A new ASCII string is stored into VAL.
|
|
|
|
=item * Other: Error.
|
|
|
|
=back
|
|
|
|
=head3 Device Support for Soft Records
|
|
|
|
The C<<< Soft Channel >>> module places a value directly in VAL.
|
|
|
|
If the INP link type is constant, the double constant, if non-zero, is converted
|
|
to a string and stored into VAL by C<init_record()>, and UDF is set to FALSE. If
|
|
the INP link type is PV_LINK, then dbCaAddInlink is called by C<init_record()>.
|
|
|
|
read_stringin calls recGblGetLinkValue to read the current value of VAL. See
|
|
L<Soft Input>.
|
|
|
|
If the return status of recGblGetLinkValue is zero, then read_stringin sets UDF
|
|
to FALSE. The status of recGblGetLinkValue is returned.
