+1 for the sequencer and SNL, we use it a LOT in our embedded system. What's the alternative?. A python program seems rather .. heavy compared to a thread inside the IOC.

Thanks

Same at the SNS. We use it for many types of complex sequencing applications. It’s a major part of our beamline control systems.

At a recent meeting at SLAC, it was suggested that the EPICS Sequencer and its State Notation Language has become obsolete.  Are any sites other than SLAC still using this?  I assume so, but please let me know directly if your organization is using it, and I can summarize later.
