Many thanks for the information. I started off with MEDM for my control
system research work but found that it is not capable of applications
involving timing such as maintaining temperature profiles. Therefore, i
decided to work with et-wish.
MEDM is a thin client for EPICS. It does not provide any programming
capability to the user. If you wish for a "thick" client on which you
can do programming or scripting, there are many to choose from. For my
work, et_wish is no longer the modern thick client of first choice.
There are scripting capabilities in Control System Studio, for example.
Or you could build your own tools from a C++/Qt framework such as
epicsQt or possibly build Python applications or some other higher level
application. The EPICS website has a list.
Often, you might consider adding into a client a capability which could
be used by other EPICS tools at your site. In this case, reconsider
adding that capability directly into an IOC to the benefit of _any_
client. The EPICS Application Developer's Guide is one reference for
you, after the Getting Started with EPICS training online
(http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/docs/GSWE.php).
For timing involving maintenance of a temperature profile, I assume you
are interested in building a temperature controller in software?
Consider using the epid record in an IOC:
