30/// # `ok()` vs `computed()`
31///
32/// This mirrors the C EPICS `read_ai()` return convention:
33///
34/// - **`ok()`** (C return 0): Device support wrote to RVAL. The record's
35/// `process()` will run its built-in conversion (e.g., ai applies
36/// `ROFF → ASLO/AOFF → LINR/ESLO/EOFF → smoothing` to produce VAL
37/// from RVAL).
38///
39/// - **`computed()`** (C return 2): Device support wrote to VAL directly.
40/// The record's `process()` will **skip** its conversion and use the
41/// VAL as-is. Use this when the device support provides engineering
42/// units directly (e.g., soft channel, asyn, custom drivers that
43/// call `record.put_field("VAL", ...)`).
44///
45/// **Common mistake:** returning `ok()` when VAL is set directly causes
46/// the record's conversion to overwrite VAL with a value derived from
47/// RVAL (typically 0), making the read appear broken.
