A naïve user of EPICS would think that every database record of every IOC gets exposed as a PV. Is this truly the case? If so, has any mechanism for hiding the “internal” records ever been discussed? The PV-space of an EPICS deployment seems very crowded. Dave Bracey AD Controls Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory |
