Hi Bo,
One way to do this is the following:
- Matlab writes to a longout record incrementing a counter once per second. When the counter reaches some maximum it resets it to 0.
- A calc record in the IOC processes more slowly, say every 5 seconds.
- The calc record compares the current counter value with the previous value.
- If the values are different then Matlab is running and it sets the VAL field to 1.
- If the values are the same then Matlab is not running and it sets the VAL field to 0.
- The calc record sets the alarm fields so there is a major alarm if the value is 0.
- The user GUI has a widget that displays an alarm based on the alarm value of the calc record.

Subject: Knowing if a server application is running
Hi all,
I am building an system based on EPICS and Matlab.
The idea of the system is that a "server" is running in Matlab. This
server which monitors and manipulates EPICS records according to some
logics.
This works very nicely and stable (even as I known that I should
properly write it all as seq code, but that is out of the scope of my
current project).
My problem is now that I would like to indicate to the user if the
Matlab server is running or not through an EPICS record.
My thought was to periodically (e.g. at least ones per second) update a
soft record from the Matlab server. But how can I from EPICS test if
this has happened. It could e.g. be a time stamp, or a "running number".
Any input will be mostly appreciated
Bo
