Thanks for the answers! I was checking more details about the pvRequest field in http://epics-pvdata.sourceforge.net/informative/pvRequest.html and I have two more questions about monitors: 1. Does EPICS support some kind of metadata for building a generic monitor? For example, I want to create a client that is able to monitor any component of the system. The only information that this generic client has are the channel names of the components while the pvRequest object is left null so the entire top level structure of the PVRecord is sent back to the client. Finally the generic client, using metadata or another mechanism like reflection, might be able to understand the message and act accordingly (e.g. if the monitored component was a thermometer then the client can update a certain item in the GUI).

If there are features missing from the Python API that you need it should be relatively straightforward to add them. Python does make it easy to create servers and client applications including ones using pyQt. -- Renato Sanhueza Ulsen
