PVs which are for instrument level, e.g. motors moving and security pvs
There are a host of user variables which are autosaved for the users to set. The number of these is controlled with the macro NUM_USER_VARS. There are 3 types:
- Integer in
IN:<instrument>:PARS:USER:IX(X is index) - Reals in
IN:<instrument>:PARS:USER:RX(X is index) - Strings in
IN:<instrument>:PARS:USER:SX(X is index), NB these are maximum of 40 characters
There are a group of user buttons which can be setup using the add buttons shared utility script. The number of these is controlled with NUM_USER_BUTTONS macro.
Records that are specific to an instrument can be placed in the custom_records.db in the configurations directory which are then loaded by INSTETC. Macros can also be passed through to these records
