Subject: scaler record simulation

Hi,

I am in the process of setting up a simulation of an instrument in EPICS only. I already succeeded 
with the motors. But what is the best way to simulate the scaler record?

I have seen that there is a Soft Channel driver for the scaler record. Unfortunately I failed to find any documentation 
or an example initialization and usage of this one. Would this do the trick? Has anyone got an example of how to use it?

Another approach may be the base Asyn Scaler. Again, I failed to find documentation or an example how to use it. Is this an 
option?

Obviously I can write a simulation driver in C. I have done this already for a real device. But it seems not to be the easiest 
thing to do. And if I have to write the simulation as a driver, would any of the python device driver interfaces be useful in 
order to make this easier?

Best Regards,

     Mark Koennecke
