Process Variables

Most CSS tools support several types of process variables (PVs). When simply using a PV name like
   some_pv_name
this will refer to a default PV type which can be configured in the PV preferences.

To select a specific PV type, use the PV name format

   type://some_pv_name
Consult the syntax of each data source for details.

Preferences

The default PV type can be selected via the menu CSS/Preferences/Applications/Configuration/Process Variables.
