<h3>Normative Type Fields.</h3>
<p>These are helper classes for creating standard fields for normative types.
There is a single instance of this class, which is obtained via NTField::get().
</p>
<pre>class NTField: NoDefaultMethods {
public:
static NTField * get();
~NTField() {}
bool isEnumerated(FieldConstPtr field);
bool isTimeStamp(FieldConstPtr field);
bool isAlarm(FieldConstPtr field);
bool isDisplay(FieldConstPtr field);
bool isAlarmLimit(FieldConstPtr field);
bool isControl(FieldConstPtr field);
StructureConstPtr createEnumerated(String fieldName);
StructureConstPtr createTimeStamp();
StructureConstPtr createAlarm();
StructureConstPtr createDisplay();
StructureConstPtr createAlarmLimit();
StructureConstPtr createControl();
StructureArrayConstPtr createEnumeratedArray(String fieldName);
StructureArrayConstPtr createTimeStampArray(String fieldName);
StructureArrayConstPtr createAlarmArray(String fieldName);
};</pre>
<p>where</p>
<dl>
<dt>isEnumerated</dt>
<dd>Is this field an enumerated structure, i. e. a structure that has a int
field named index and a string array field named choices.</dd>

structures.</dd>

structures.</dd>

PVStringArray *getValues();
};</pre>
<p>where</p>
<dl>
