PV Name and CA spec #56

Open agaget opened 6 years ago

agaget commented 6 years ago

Hi, when i try to archive the following PV "PF704-ECCTD:Neutron-Meas:µSv" via the mgmt webpage, it returns to me "The following PV names do not match the CA spec". I imagine that the char 'µ' is not accepted, however it works fine for all the other EPICS client application (css, caget...) so it seems to be in the CA spec. 'µ' is more relevant than 'u', it is more beautiful and it is already on all my documents :)

Can you add it or there is a reason for its absence ? Can i bypass it ?

Version appliance : EPICS Archiver Appliance Version 0.0.1_SNAPSHOT_27-November-2017T16-32-40 Version EPICS : 3.15.4

Thanks

I will look into allowing this. We are probably following an older CA naming spec...
