Thanks everyone for the great response, including all those sent to me personally. To summarize those sent directly to me, they mirror what’s been indicated in this forum; the sequencer is indeed alive and
well and used in a variety of settings at many (most?) EPICS sites. But to answer your question Yong (and similar ones asked directly!) this comment about the sequencer came up in a small internal meeting with some people who are quite focused on very specific EPICS-related
work that doesn’t require the sequencer. SLAC has many hundreds of IOCs that do use the sequencer, so it’s great that EPICS as a toolkit can support a broad spectrum of users. cheers -doug From:
Hu, Yong <yhu at bnl.gov> This topic is becoming so hot that I cannot help jumping in. I cannot imagine a facility (not a simple lab setup) using EPICS without using Sequencer. Doug, is that meeting at SLAC just internal?
From: Tech-talk <tech-talk-bounces at aps.anl.gov> on behalf of "Murray, Doug via Tech-talk" <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov> 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. cheers -doug |
