HOW TO BUILD DATA CATCHER ?
It is assumed that you already have epics/extensions/config, and
epics/extensions directories intact. This new config structure set up
should allow the epics/extensions been built under any EPICS supported
operating system. You may need to modify the Host.solaris file according to
your site software system installations.
Following gives the procedure steps to obtain the data catcher source
and build under epics/extensions directory. Step 1 is needed only if
the epics/extensions/config directory never been created before.
1. Go to epics directory and down load the
tar file extensionsConfig_20040406.tar,gz
Unzip and extract sources from the tar file
gunzip extensionsConfig_20040406.tar.gz
tar xvf extensionsConfig_20040406.tar
2. Go to epics/extensions directory and down load the tar file
Catcher R3.1 ( Catcher3_1.Tar.gz ) (29.2 MB)
Unzip and extract sources from the tar file
gunzip Catcher3_1.Tar.gz
tar xvf Catcher3_1.Tar
3. Build the data catcher under unix operating system
cd src/ezca
gnumake
cd ../EzcaScan
gnumake
cd ../ezcaIDL
gnumake
cd ../idl
gnumake
HOW TO TEST DATA CATCHER / SCANSEE ?
Test the data catcher, make sure the
/usr/local/epics/extensions/bin/$EPICS_HOST_ARCH
is in your search path, where $EPICS_HOST_ARCH is "solaris-sparc"
for Unix system. The envrionment variable EPICS_EXTENSIONS must be
set to "/usr/local/epics/extensions".
If the data catcher is built in your private epics extensions area, then
you need to set the EPICS_EXTENSIONS_PVT to point to your private area,
e.g.
setenv EPICS_EXTENSIONS_PVT ~/epics/extensions
