You are correct: BURT is about saving and restoring snapshots. You have pre-configured lists of channels, and the operator decides at a certain moment to take a snapshot of the listed channels' values. This snapshot is saved as (a set of) file(s), and can be restored to the channels at a later time. AutoSaveRestore is about having channels keep their values during a reboot. You have similar pre-configured lists of channels, but the values are continuously saved to file, and the IOC loads the most recent values back during startup. ChannelWatcher only replaces the "save" part of that system: the original AutoSaveRestore writes the data directly from the IOC to a file, while the ChannelWatcher is a daemon on a remote system, that collects the data through channel access to write it locally to file. There are GUI interfaces to BURT: Thomas Birke wrote one (TCL/TK) that we use at BESSY ([email protected]), Steve Singleton recently wrote a new GUI with similar features (python), which is in use at Diamond. (He was giving a talk at the last EPICS meeting, you will find his slides on the meeting page.) Hope this helps, Ralph Heinrich du Toit wrote: Hi
