Re: need an IOC with a wide variety of data types for testing purposes

Hi Giacomo,

you don't even need to code your own IOC. You need only a database to provide all your empty PVs of different types. Than run it with softIOC provided by EPICS base. You can even add some logic inside the db (e.g. calc record) or easier, write some scripts in python, bash, perl or whatever to "move" the PVs. You can then read and monitor them from your CAC. For the database creation the easier option is VisualDCT tool.

Ciao,

Luca

Hello everyone.


After installing EPICS and reading the paragraph: "Build the example 
application", generating  and installing the test IOC with:

     makeBaseApp.pl -t example test

I see that the example IOC exports just a few types of data: mainly "ai" 
analog input.


I would like to test a client application to read/write waveforms, 
strings, arrays of strings, enums and so on..

In other words, is there an example IOC  where I can use ca clients 
(camonitor, caput)  to try monitoring and writing several types of data?

As the example obtained with makeBaseApp generates an "ai" changing from 
0 to 9, the test example I am looking for should generate changing 
waveforms, enums, strings, arrays of strings.


Thanks for any suggestion.
