First run a pvAccess test server (portable channel access server equvivalent) by
running ./runTestServer in another terminal (or in background).

pvget, pvput and eget utilities are delivered by pvAccessCPP (caget and caput equvivalents).
They are located in pvAccessCPP/bin/$EPICS_HOST_ARCH directory.

1. Get the value of a V4 scalar PV
----------------------------------
> pvget testValue
testValue                      0


2. Put the value of a V4 scalar PV
----------------------------------
> pvput testValue 1.23
Old : testValue                      0
New : testValue                      1.23


3. Get the value of a V4 array PV
----------------------------------
> pvget testArray10_1
testArray10_1 10 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9


4. Put the value of a V4 array PV
----------------------------------
> pvput testArray10_1 3 11 22 33
Old : testArray10_1 10 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
New : testArray10_1 3 11 22 33


5. Get the values of all the fields of V4 record (-r is pvAccess request string)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
> pvget -r 'field()' testValue
testValue
epics:nt/NTScalar:1.0
    double value 1.23
    alarm_t alarm
        int severity 0
        int status 0
        string message 
    time_t timeStamp
        long secondsPastEpoch 0
        int nanoseconds 0
        int userTag 0

        double limitLow 0
        double limitHigh 0
        string description 
        string format 
        string units 
    control_t control
        double limitLow 0
        double limitHigh 0
        double minStep 0
    valueAlarm_t valueAlarm
        boolean active false
        double lowAlarmLimit 0
        double lowWarningLimit 0
        double highWarningLimit 0
        double highAlarmLimit 0
        int lowAlarmSeverity 0
        int lowWarningSeverity 0
        int highWarningSeverity 0
        int highAlarmSeverity 0
        double hysteresis 0


6. Get the values of some fields of V4 record (-r is pvAccess request string)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
> pvget -r 'field(value,timeStamp,alarm)' testValue
testValue
structure 
    double value 1.23
    time_t timeStamp
        long secondsPastEpoch 0
        int nanoseconds 0
        int userTag 0
    alarm_t alarm
        int severity 0
        int status 0
        string message 


6. Monitor the value of a V4 scalar PV
--------------------------------------
> pvget -m testCounter
testCounter                    406
testCounter                    407
testCounter                    408
testCounter                    409
