<p>Hi, <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>There are multiple ways to deal with these, but I think the most
efficient would be to make some changes <br>
</p>
<p>to the source where these variables come from. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Nick, can we add another status tag similar to <span
style="font-family: calibri, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);
background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);">MPS_Status_Read, </span>but
instead of DINT array use BOOL array type? <br>
</p>
<p>Then I can transfer it into EPICS as mbbiDirect records, and
Tyler can use those two to display in the EDM GUI. <br>
</p>
<p>I do not know why would this array be DINT in the first place. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The numbers shown on the solenoid voltage screen mostly come from
PXI, so the summing should <br>
</p>
<p>probably be done on PXI, which means Brian could check if he can
create four more variables <br>
</p>
<p>to provide the summed voltages. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>FDC:CHILL:STATUS and FDC:CHILL:ALARM1 EPICS records are
mbbiDirect type records, byte monitor <br>
</p>
<p>should be able to show them properly. <br>
</p>

elements, it would need to be split up into multiple PVs. On
the Solenoid interlocks screen, the "MPS Interlock Sum" status
is also pulled out of this array using a script. Since CSS is
using scripts to get individual status bits on multiple
screens, it may be best to make 24 new, individual Boolean PVs
for each status bit.</span></div>
