While investigating high-level framework for EPICS, I came across the following page

Is any one using LabView with EPICS?

LANSCE is using this for all future generic analog and binary devices.  We have 45 such production IOCs now (compared to 26 VME-based IOCs).

What are the benefit of such a setup?

Fairly good cost per channel.  We can use very similar setups for most IOCs.  We will convert most Camac and our home-grown RICE systems to these.

What are the drawbacks?

Learning LabVIEW.  Learning FPGA programming.  Dependence on NI.  LabVIEW code is much more monolithic compared to ASCII sources (that is, files for a single application are numerous and not human-readable).
