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.
Following gives the procedure steps to obtain the data catcher source
and build under epics/extensions directory. Step 1 is needed only if
the config.Tar.gz file has never been downloaded or the directory
epics/extensions/config never been created before.
1. Go to epics/extensions/config directory and down load the
tar file config.Tar.gz
Unzip and extract sources from the tar file
gunzip config.Tar.gz
tar xvf config.Tar
2. Go to epics/extensions directory and down load the tar file
Catcher2_2c9.Tar.gz
Unzip and extract sources from the tar file
gunzip Catcher2_2c9.Tar.gz
tar xvf Catcher2_2c9.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 ?
Test the data catcher, make sure the /usr/local/epics/extensions/bin/$HOST_ARCH
is in your search path, where $HOST_ARCH is either solaris or sun4
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
