=head3 Operator Display Parameters
The B<NAME> field contains the record name which must be unique within an
EPICS Channel Access name space. The name is supplied by the application
developer and is the means of identifying a specific record. The name has a
maximum length of 60 characters and should use only this limited set of
characters:
a-z A-Z 0-9 _ - : [ ] < > ;
The B<DESC> field may be set to provide a meaningful description of the
record's purpose. Maximum length is 40 characters.

=head3 Scan Fields
These fields contain information related to how and when a record processes. A
few records have unique fields that also affect how they process. These
fields, if any, will be listed and explained in the section for each record.
The B<SCAN> field specifies the scanning period for periodic record scans or the
scan type for non-periodic record scans. The default set of values for SCAN can
be found in L<menuScan.dbd|menuScan>.
The choices provided by this menu are:
=over
=item *
C<Passive> for the record scan to be triggered by other records or Channel
Access
=item *
C<Event> for event-driven scan
=item *
C<I/O Intr> for interrupt-driven scan
=item *
A set of periodic scan intervals
=back
Additional periodic scan rates may be defined for individual IOCs by making a
local copy of menuScan.dbd and adding more choices as required. Scan rates
should normally be defined in order, with the fastest rates appearing first.
Scan periods may now be specified in seconds, minutes, hours or Hertz/Hz, and
plural time units will also be accepted (seconds are used if no unit is
mentioned in the choice string). For example the rates given below are all
valid:
1 hour
0.5 hours
15 minutes
3 seconds
1 second
2 Hertz
The B<PINI> field specifies record processing at initialization. If it is set
to YES during database configuration, the record is processed once at IOC
initialization (before the normal scan tasks are started).
The B<PHAS> field orders the records within a specific SCAN group. This is not
meaningful for passive records. All records of a specified phase are processed
before those with higher phase number. Whenever possible it is better to use
linked passive records to enforce the order of processing rather than a phase
number.
The B<EVNT> field specifies an event number. This event number is used if the
SCAN field is set to C<Event>. All records with scan type C<Event> and the
same EVNT value will be processed when a call to post_event for EVNT is made.
The call to post_event is: post_event(short event_number).
The B<PRIO> field specifies the scheduling priority for processing records
with SCAN=C<I/O Event> and asynchronous record completion tasks.
The B<DISV> field specifies a "disable value". Record processing is
immediately terminated if the value of this field is equal to the value of the
DISA field, i.e. the record is disabled. Note that field values of a record
can be changed by database put or Channel Access, even if a record is
disabled.
The B<DISA> field contains the value that is compared with DISV to determine
if the record is disabled. The value of the DISA field is obtained via SDIS if
SDIS is a database or channel access link. If SDIS is not a database or
channel access link, then DISA can be set via dbPutField or dbPutLink.
If the B<PROC> field of a record is written to, the record is processed.
The B<DISS> field defines the record's "disable severity". If this field is
not NO_ALARM and the record is disabled, the record will be put into alarm
with this severity and a status of DISABLE_ALARM.
The B<LSET> field contains the lock set to which this record belongs. All
records linked in any way via input, output, or forward database links belong
to the same lock set. Lock sets are determined at IOC initialization time, and
are updated whenever a database link is added, removed or altered.
The B<LCNT> field counts the number of times dbProcess finds the record active
during successive scans, i.e. PACT is TRUE. If dbProcess finds the record
active MAX_LOCK times (currently set to 10) it raises a SCAN_ALARM.
The B<PACT> field is TRUE while the record is being processed. For
asynchronous records PACT can be TRUE from the time record processing is
started until the asynchronous completion occurs. As long as PACT is TRUE,
dbProcess will not call the record processing routine. See Application
Developers Guide for details on usage of PACT.
The B<FLNK> field is a database link to another record (the "target" record).
Processing a record with a specified FLNK field will force processing of the
target record, provided the target record's SCAN field is set to C<Passive>.
The B<SPVT> field is for internal use by the scanning system.

=head3 Alarm Fields
These fields indicate the status and severity of alarms, or else determine the
how and when alarms are triggered. Of course, many records have alarm-related
fields not common to all records. These fields are listed and explained in the
appropriate section on each record.
The B<STAT> field contains the current alarm status.
The B<SEVR> field contains the current alarm severity.
These two fields are seen outside database access. The B<NSTA> and B<NSEV>
fields are used by the database access, record support, and device support
routines to set new alarm status and severity values. Whenever any software
component discovers an alarm condition, it uses the following macro function:
recGblSetSevr(precord,new_status,new_severity) This ensures that the current
alarm severity is set equal to the highest outstanding alarm. The file alarm.h
defines all allowed alarm status and severity values.
The B<ACKS> field contains the highest unacknowledged alarm severity.
The B<ACKT> field specifies if it is necessary to acknowledge transient
alarms.
The B<UDF> indicates if the record's value is B<U>nB<D>eB<F>ined. Typically
this is caused by a failure in device support, the fact that the record has
never been processed, or that the VAL field currently contains a NaN (not a
number). UDF is initialized to TRUE at IOC initialization. Record and device
support routines which write to the VAL field are responsible for setting UDF.

=head3 Device Fields
The B<RSET> field contains the address of the Record Support Entry Table. See
the Application Developers Guide for details on usage.
The B<DSET> field contains the address of Device Support Entry Table. The
value of this field is determined at IOC initialization time. Record support
routines use this field to locate their device support routines.
The B<DPVT> field is is for private use of the device support modules.

=head3 Debugging Fields
The B<TPRO> field is used for trace processing. If this field is non-zero a
message is printed whenever this record is processed, and when any other
record in the same lock-set is processed by a database link from this record.
The B<BKPT> field indicates if there is a breakpoint set at this record. This
supports setting a debug breakpoint in the record processing. STEP through
database processing can be supported using this.
=fields TPRO, BKPT
=head3 Miscellaneous Fields
The B<ASG> field contains a character string value defining the access
security group for this record. If left empty, the record is placed in group
DEFAULT.
The B<ASP> field is a field for private use of the access security system.
The B<DISP> field controls dbPutFields to this record which are normally
issued by channel access. If the field is set to TRUE all dbPutFields
directed to this record are ignored except to the field DISP itself.
The B<DTYP> field specifies the device type for the record. Each record type
has its own set of device support routines which are specified in
devSup.ASCII. If a record type does not have any associated device support,
DTYP and DSET are meaningless.
The B<MLOK> field contains the monitor lock. The lock used by the monitor
routines when the monitor list is being used. The list is locked whenever
monitors are being scheduled, invoked, or when monitors are being added to or
removed from the list. This field is accessed only by the dbEvent routines.
The B<MLIS> field is the head of the list of monitors connected to this
record. Each record support module is responsible for triggering monitors for
any fields that change as a result of record processing. Monitors are present
if mlis count is greater than zero. The call to trigger monitors is:
db_post_event(precord,&data,mask), where "mask" is some combination of
DBE_ALARM, DBE_VALUE, and DBE_LOG.
The B<PPN> field contains the address of a putNotify callback.
The B<PPNR> field contains the next record for PutNotify.
The B<PUTF> field is set to TRUE if dbPutField caused the current record
processing.
The B<RDES> field contains the address of dbRecordType
The B<RPRO> field specifies a reprocessing of the record when current
processing completes.
The B<TIME> field contains the time when this record was last processed in
standard format.
The B<TSE> field indicates the mechanism to use to get the time stamp. '0' -
call get time as before '-1' - call the time stamp driver and use the best
source available. '-2' - the device support provides the time stamp from the
hardware. Values between 1-255 request the time of the last occurance of a
generalTime event.
The B<TSEL> field contains an input link for obtaining the time stamp. If this
link references the .TIME field of a record then the time stamp of the
referenced record becomes the time stamp for this record as well. In this
case, an internal flag is set and ".TIME" is then overwritten by ".VAL". If
any other field is referenced, the field value is read and stored in the .TSE
field which is then used to acquire a timestamp.
