Hi Carlos,
Thanks a lot for the pointers!
Some comments on your statements...

Finally, I must say that, as a complete alien to the EPICS world it took
me quite a lot of effort learning enough to set up such a minimal and
simple epics system (the "tutorial-style" docs I found were very lab-
specific and assumed a running system in place). This stresses the
convenience of a pre-packaged VM or docker image. I documented my own
"minimal-epics" installation in this short doc:
http://sf.net/p/tauruslib/wiki/howto-taurus-epics/
I know that the EPICS learning curve is not to be underestimated. And I
agree that VM/Docker is a good way to provide an easy start.
However, for the records:
EPICS Base contains fairly complete example applications in the form of
templates that you can instantiate and build.
The "Application Developer's Guide" (which is the central document for
EPICS) has a "Getting Started" chapter that walks you through the
examples on a few pages.
The examples are completely self-contained and free of lab-specifics.
They do require an installation of EPICS Base, which (on modern standard
systems) can be created by unpacking the distribution tar and running
"make".
One more remark about
> $ taurusform epics://XXX:random epics://XXX:a epics://XXX:b
epics://XXX:sum
The EPICS V3 network protocol is called Channel Access. In URI-type
notation, applications should use "ca:" to denote the scheme.
The EPICS V4 (next generation) network protocol is called PV Access. Its
common URI scheme tag is "pva:".
Unless the "epics:" tag stands for something taurus-internal that is a
different scheme and not Channel Access, I would really prefer a
consistent naming.
Cheers,
~Ralph
