Hi Oscar,

I am relatively new to Phoebus as well but have been developing with it pretty successfully with the help of Techtalk, random presentations I find online about older version of CSS (BOY).  Also the developer had this pdf not sure how dated it is but a lot of the Phoebus stuff is similar to the older version.  I have not done a ton of scripting through CSS but the hooks do seem to be there to call them.

Subject: Documentation to program CSS Phoebus scripts using JS and Python

Hi everybody,

My name is Óscar, from Spain, and this is my first message to Tech-talk.

I am writing because I have an initiation doubt about EPICS and, more specifically, about Control System Studio Phoebus. In particular, I can't find documentation about how to program scripts using Python and Javascript. The different classes that are available, their special objets ("display", "widgets" and so on) and their methods/attributes are unknown for me. Inside Phoebus there are some examples, but they are not a formal documentation. Just a glance about some programming possibilities. On the Internet, in the wild, I have found some pieces of information, but some of them not even work when I try to use them.

However, I have read messages in this list where people use these concepts with no problem. So, please, where could I find documentation about CSS Phoebus programming?

Thank your your time.

Óscar
