The users had set values to LOLO, LOW, HIHI, and HIGH, but apparently EPICS does not propagate these alarm limits to the PV metadata if the severity settings are set to NO_ALARM, which is the default. In these cases the alarm limits display as nans via caput and as "Not set" in the "Display Alarm Thresholds" context menus here, which is absolutely correct but we could be more helpful.
Our users may have been able to figure this out themselves if the UI displayed something like:
HIHI: Not set, HHSV: NO_ALARM
HIGH: Not set, HSV: NO_ALARM
LOW: Not set, LSV: NO_ALARM
LOLO: Not set, LLSV: NO_ALARM
And then when properly configured, something like:
HIHI: 10, HHSV: MAJOR
HIGH: 5, HSV: MINOR
LOW: -5, LSV: MINOR
LOLO: -10, LLSV: MINOR
Or any other superior variant of this that makes it clear that the record isn't configured for a limits alarm.
