Hi,

Just to follow up on the comments regarding Observatory Sciences, we are currently undertaking development of a fully functional native LabVIEW channel access server (with client capabilities).  This will require no external libraries and will run on Windows, Linux and LV RT platforms.

We expect a first version to be ready by early next year.  Please email me directly for further information.


Thanks, Alan Greer

Hello

Here is a nice summary:
ftp://ftp.ni.com/pub/branches/uk/handson_followup/epics_ral.pdf

We have tried EPICS module in LV 2013 and our-own-way: use of LV AMC module and EPICS streamdevice , both with focus on LV Realtime targets ( PC compatible one).
- The first was fine for small sets of variables.
- The second just sends structured data with UDP and requires little bit of development on both sides. It is promissing, however AMC will include desired TCP support someday soon.

As far as I know about the others:
- CA lab doesn't work with LV RT targets,
- SNS and ObservatorySciences are not publicly available.

We haven't found the right one yet, I'm afraid.

How frequently you intend to R/W you data to LV ?

Cheers,
Tomas

Předmět: Interface Labview and EPICS

Hello, 

I am wondering if someone knows how to interface Labview (Windows system) with the EPICS. I am going to use Labview to control a equipment during my beamtime. It would be convenient if EPICS can write and read numbers from Labview (e.g. scan). 

Thanks, 

Yuan Gao
