Re: [Fwd: LabView/EPICS]

This is just my $.02 worth, based on no real experience.

I like the idea of using a LabView front-end to EPICS since it combines the 
strength of LabView (its user interfaces) to the strength of EPICS (its 
rapid execution).

Has anyone looking into the idea of a CORBA interface from a Unix or 
Windows machine running LabView to an IOC running VxWorks?
