Hi All,
As stated in the subject line of this post, I am attempting to display the value of an EPICS process variable (PV) in LabVIEW 2010 (evaluation version). I have gone throught the steps to create an EPICS Client I/O server, and configuring it by defining an existing PV to access. I tried creating a bound variable, and configured its shared variable properties as outlined in the documentation. I dragged the variable from the Project Explorer window into the Front Panel window, and activated continuous run mode, but I get a "Bad quality for: \\my_computer\process_name\variable_name" message. The remote softIOC & PV value I want to display are working as an Extensible Display Manager (EDM) screen already exists, and correctly shows the value.
The softIOC is running on a Linux host using non-default channel access (CA) ports. I have defined both user and system environment variables (EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST, EPICS_CA_REPEATER_PORT & EPICS_CA_SERVER_PORT) on the PC running LabVIEW. Does the current version of LabVIEW & DSC pay attention to EPICS environment variables?
As others have gotten the same thing as I am attempting operational, I assume that I am making some basic, newbie mistake. Any light you can shed will be greatly appreciated.
