EPICSsynApps: love

Module Owner: APS/AOD/BCDA: David Kline

This page is the home of the synApps love module. It contains a port driver, databases, and MEDM displays to support the Love controllers. It can employ either the IndustryPack octal-serial RS232 or RS485 module for vxWorks installations, and will work as well on Linux workstations. Please email any comments and bug reports to David Kline, who is responsible for coordinating development and releases.

Installation and Building

After obtaining a copy of the distribution, it must be installed and built for use at your site. These steps only need to be performed once for the site (unless versions of the module running under different releases of EPICS and/or the other required modules are needed).

  1. Unzip the distribution, e.g. on Unix:

    gzip -cd love_R3-2-3.tar.gz | tar -xvf -

    Usually this is done in an EPICS 'support' directory. It will produce the subdirectory

    love/3-2-3
  2. Edit the config/RELEASE file of the application that will use love to point to this directory,

  3. Edit love's config[ure]/RELEASE file and set the paths to your installation of EPICS base and to your versions of Asyn and Ipac,

  4. CD to 3-2-3 and enter gnumake (on Solaris) or make (on Linux) to build the love library and sample application.

  5. Please email  David Kline  so that a record can be kept of which sites are using this software.
