My test:
If it is steady state control, data acquisition, interlock, supervisory control --- it's a database problem
If it requires transitioning between steady states, timeouts, modes of operation -- it's a sequence.

Subject: Sequencer intro needed !
Hello,
I am not familiar with the epics sequencer.
I would like to control for the following:
If analog output0 is below 4
then set analog output1 to 30
and analog output2 to 25
I have process variables for all those values.
With EPICS records to do the above, I can use a calc + a fanout + a sequencer.
But why not use this simple state diagram to be introduced to state notation language and the epics sequencer ?
I have the SNL & Seq user's guide. ( but I never opened it) I do not know anything about SNL and Seq, but I understand state diagrams.
I have the epics base and a few extensions (if the sequencer needs to be installed then it is most likely not installed) I am not stupid (strong assumption here ;-) and can learn new things at an normal pace
How long will it take me to do the above with the epics sequencer?
Is there another method to accomplish what I want to do?
Thanks,
