Thanks everyone for your input! Thanks for the suggestion Kay, ill have to look into PCASPY some more but would this be similar to using pyepics as an interface to CA? Right now it looks like either move it to an IOC (pythonIoc), translate it over to C (regular IOC),
or throw some pyepics in the python script and have it run an event loop looking for a PV change. From: Tech-talk <tech-talk-bounces at aps.anl.gov> On Behalf Of
Kasemir, Kay via Tech-talk Hi: If the goal is that writing to a PV triggers something in python, wouldn't it be more straight forward to have a python-based CA server? It serves the "DoIt" PV, and writing to that PV makes the python code do something. PCASPY, https://pcaspy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/,
allows you to implement just that, without need to first create some 'mailbox' IOC for serving the value, then having a script poll/monitor that PV for changes. With PCASPY you can also support put-callback, so clients writing to the PV can not only trigger whatever you want to happen, but they can also get notified when the action completes. -Kay |
