lcaSetSeverityWarnLevel

Calling Sequence

lcaSetSeverityWarnLevel(newlevel)

Description

Set the warning threshold for lcaGet() operations. A warning message is printed when retrieving a PV with a severity bigger or equal to the warning level. Supported values are 0..3 (No alarm, minor alarm, major alarm, invalid alarm). The initial/default value is 3.

If a value $>=10$ is passed, the threshold for refusing to read the .VAL field of PVs with an INVALID severity can be changed. The rejection can be switched off completely by passing 14 ( $= 10 + INVALID\_ALARM + 1$) or made more sensitive by passing a value of less than 13 ( $=10 + INVALID\_ALARM$), the default.
