Ability to scale integer (or floating point) values from the PLC on the EPICS side in a consistent way.
"scale" key
e.g.,
scale: 1.234
offset: 10.0
Presence of a scale key on a record normally generated as longin would then create an ai record instead.
Alternative: calc key
e.g., calc: 2 * value + 1.54
Maybe consider a calc field which may allow generic calculations by way of an auto-generated calc record.
This could then allow for easy slope, offset, and perhaps even references to other symbols. (That last part is iffy, though)
