=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.
=head2 Parameter Fields
The fields in the record fall into the following categories:
=over 1
=item *
scan parameters
=item *
read parameters
=item *
expression parameters
=item *
operator display parameters
=item *
alarm parameters
=item *
monitor parameters
=item *
run-time parameters

=recordtype calc
=cut
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.
=fields CALC, RPCL
=head3 Literals
=over 1
=item *
Standard double precision floating point numbers
=item *
Inf: Infinity
=item *
Nan: Not a Number
=back
=head3 Constants
=over 1
=item *
PI: returns the mathematical constant E<pi>
=item *
D2R: evaluates to E<pi>/180 which, when used as a multiplier, converts an
angle from degrees to radians
=item *
R2D: evaluates to 180/E<pi> which as a multiplier converts an angle from
radians to degrees
=back
=head3 Operands
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 Parantheses, Comma, and Semicolon
The open and close parentheses are supported. Nested parentheses are
supported.
The comma is supported when used to separate the arguments of a binary
function.
The semicolon is used to separate expressions. Although only one
traditional calculation expression is allowed, multiple assignment
expressions are allowed.
=head3 Conditional Expression
The C language's question mark operator is supported. The format is:
C<condition ? True result : False result>
=head3 Expression Examples
=head3 Algebraic

=over 1
=item *
Result is A + B + 10
=back
=head3 Relational
C<(A + B) < (C + D)>
=over 1
=item *
Result is 1 if (A + B) < (C + D)
=item *
Result is 0 if (A + B) >= (C + D)
=back
=head3 Question Mark
C<(A + B) < (C + D) ? E : F + L + 10>
=over 1
=item *
Result is E if (A + B) < (C + D)
=item *
Result is F + L + 10 if (A + B) >= (C + D)
=back
Prior to Base 3.14.9 it was legal to omit the : and the second (else) part
of the conditional, like this:
C<(A + B)<(C + D) ? E>
=over 1
=item
Result is E if (A + B)<(C + D)
=item
Result is unchanged if (A + B)>=(C + D)
From 3.14.9 onwards, this expresion must be written as
C<(A + B) < (C + D) ? E : VAL>

1 degree intervals.
=back
=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.

=head2 C<init_record>
For each constant input link, the corresponding value field is initialized
with the constant value if the input link is CONSTANT or a channel access
link is created if the input link is a PV_LINK.
A routine postfix is called to convert the infix expression in CALC to
Reverse Polish Notation. The result is stored in RPCL.
=head2 C<process>
See next section.
=head2 C<special>
This is called if CALC is changed. C<special> calls postfix.
=head2 C<get_value>
Fills in the values of struct valueDes so that the refer to VAL.
=head2 C<get_units>
Retrieves EGU.
=head2 C<get_precision>
Retrieves PREC.
=head2 C<get_graphic_double>
Sets the upper display and lower display limits for a field. If the field
is VAL, HIHI, HIGH, LOW, or LOLO, the limits are set to HOPR and LOPR, else
if the field has upper and lower limits defined they will be used, else the
upper and lower maximum values for the field will be used.
=head2 C<get_control_double>
Sets the upper control and the lower control limits for a field. If the
field is VAL, HIHI, HIGH, LOW, or LOLO, the limits are set to HOPR and
LOPR, else if the field has upper and lower limits defined they will be
used, else the upper and lower maximum values for the field type will be
used.
=head2 C<get_alarm_double>
Sets the following values:
=over 1
upper_alarm_limit = HIHI
upper_warning_limit = HIGH
lower_warning_limit = LOW
lower_alarm_limit = LOLO

=head3 Record Processing
Routine process implements the following algorithm:

Call routine C<calcPerform>, which calculates VAL from the postfix 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. It also
honors the alarm hysteresis factor (HYST). Thus the value must change by
at least HYST before the alarm status and severity changes.
