INTER: Area limit setting on Nima trough too low #7141

Closed ChrisM-S closed 1 year ago

ChrisM-S commented 2 years ago

Where?

On INTER, as a scientists I was having problems getting the Nima Trough IOC to accept a value for one setting - AREA:SP which kept returning to 247.0 - I could alter speed and target pressure and they work and change on the VI. The problem was a limit setting of 247.0 which behaves like the value keeps getting set back. On the OPI if you type in 400.0 and hit return, it immediately goes back to 247.0. If you change the setting on the VI, after a bit it gets set back to 247.0

The problem was traced to a high limit of 247.0 hard coded into the Nima trough DB file, - this was edited temporarily but I would like this fixed permanently.

Reproducible?

[Yes/No]

To Reproduce

Start the Nima Trough IOC after starting the LabVIEW VI (must be started manually beforehand as the IOC talks to it). Try to set a value for the Target area in the OPI greater than 247.0. Check smaller values can be set OK, also look at the VI front panel to check.

There is nothing I can see in the LabVIEW that would indicate that this limit came from there. This means that the value for the limit needs to be checked with the various instrument scientists involved, and likely the support team as well
