I recently had a discussion with the Product Manager of LabView
Realtime/Embedded about possibly implementing a tightly-coupled EPICS
interface to LabView. They have heard alot about EPICS from their
customers and would like to investigate what would be involved in
providing this capability in an integrated way.
The first question for us to answer is "what do we want?". So, I would
like to hear people's experience with the EPICS/LabView interfaces that
are currently available. I know of two major ones:
- Active-X interfaces (for clients and server)
- Shared-memory interface to standard EPICS records (3.14)
Please contribute your experiences, comments, ideas, wishes, etc with
these solutions or let us know of any others that have been done. For
those of you familiar with LabView, what other
capabilities/features/performance requirements would you like to see?
The goal would be to develop a list of requirements for the
"out-of-the-box" LabView/EPICS solution.
Please reply by March 12.
