Hello,
I’m investigating the pro’s/con’s of a hybrid LabVIEW/EPICS system for the control and DAQ on PRIME Lab’s accelerator. We’ll be adding a second ion source (and requisite controllers) so it seems like a
good time to make such a migration if it seems beneficial. Currently we use a suite of LabVIEW applications for control/DAQ of a dozen NI cRIOs, a handful of NI GPIB-ethernet controllers, and two NI PXI chassis as our input/output controllers.
In particular, I’m curious to talk to anybody who’s ever migrated a system from pure LabVIEW to a LabVIEW/EPICS hybrid or who currently runs an EPICS system involving controllers similar to ours (the NI
cRIOs, PXI crates, and GPIB-ENET controllers).
Thanks,
Max
