    07/10/2017, 09:50
    The release of EPICS 7 marks a major enhancement to the EPICS toolkit. EPICS 7 combines the proven functionality, reliability and capability of EPICS V3 with the powerful EPICS V4 extensions enabling high-performance network transfers of structured data. The code bases have been merged and reorganized. EPICS 7 provides a new platform for control system development, suitable for data...

    Mr Andrew Johnson (Argonne)
    07/10/2017, 10:05
    How is EPICS 7 different from previous versions of EPICS Base, and how have we incorporated V4 modules into the result? This talk will cover the internal changes and reorganizations that have been made to produce the new EPICS release, and their effect on downstream modules.

    Matthias Clausen (DESY)
    07/10/2017, 12:15
    The cryogenic system of the European XFEL consists of various kinds of different components. For each component we implemented individual test procedures and commissioning plans. Since we were quite successful with this implementation we want to share our experience with you. This will cover simulation of I/O prior to installation, test procedures for PLC integration, testing hardware prior to...

  12. 3. EPICS at Cooler Synchrotron (COSY)
    Mr Jan Malec (Cosylab)
    07/10/2017, 12:30
    The Cooler Synchrotron (COSY) is an accelerator and a synchrotron located in Jülich, Germany and operated by Forschungszentrum Jülich. Cosylab introduced EPICS to COSY's control system and developed an orbit control application running in a feedback loop on top of it. As a result, COSY is now running a distributed control system and is better prepared for future experiments that require a...

  13. 9. Hardware Triggered Scanning at Diamond Light Source
    Mr Cobb Tom (Diamond Light Source)
    07/10/2017, 12:45
    Hardware Triggered Scanning at Diamond Light Source involves the synchronization of a trajectory scanned motor with triggered capture of a detector and encoder positions. This talk will outline the approach taken to unify these types scans across multiple photon beamlines and outline the software and hardware that has been developed as a result. In particular it will focus on: - pmac: The...

  14. 16. areaDetector: What’s New?
    Dr Mark Rivers (University of Chicago)
    07/10/2017, 13:00
    This talk will focus on enhancements to the areaDetector package since it was last presented at the 2016 collaboration meeting at Oak Ridge. These include: - New ImageJ plugin called EPICS_NTNDA_Viewer.java that displays images using EPICS V4 NTNDArrays. It has the same functionality as the EPICS_AD_Viewer.java which uses EPICS Channel Access to display images in waveform records. EPICS...

  15. 0. Web Extensible Display Manager
    Ryan Slominski (JLAB), Theo Larrieu (Jefferson Lab)
    07/10/2017, 14:30
    Jefferson Lab’s Web Extensible Display Manager (WEDM) allows staff to access EDM control system screens from a web browser in remote offices or from mobile devices. Native browser technologies are leveraged to avoid installing and managing software on remote clients such as browser plugins, tunnel applications, or a full EPICS and EDM environment. Since standard HTTP ports are used network...

  16. 18. WebEPICS status update
    Mr Klemen Vodopivec (ORNL/SNS)
    07/10/2017, 14:45
    Web client for EPICS developed at SNS is now called WebEPICS. Taking into account coding language preferences of potential contributors from EPICS community, major design changes were made to the original prototype presented a year ago. Various web technologies were evaluated to ensure the best web practices are considered and used given the unique requirements this project has. In its basic...

  17. 14. Channelfinder Property Distribution via Infotags
    Daron Chabot (FRIB MSU)
    07/10/2017, 14:50
    This short talk will examine a method of inserting Properties into Channelfinder. Using IOC database 'infotags', arbitrary Properties may be associated with Records. Channelfinder clients may then utilize these Properties as they see fit.

  18. 12. Motor record – next generation
    Torsten Bögershausen (European Spallation Source ERIC)
    07/10/2017, 14:55
    The EPICS support for motors, as we know it today, started with "Motor Record 4.1" in February 2000. While integrating modern motion controllers at ESS, we found that improvements are needed. Give a short overview what have been done (until we meet again in 2018).

  19. 19. Keithley 6482 EPICS module prototype
    Ms Carolina Bianchini (SLAC)
    07/10/2017, 15:00
    The LCLS II requirements for the Bunch Current Monitor (BCM) attracted the preference to use the Keithley PicoAmmeter 6482 over the 6487 model. The EPICS module for controlling the PicoAmmeter 6487 was available to the EPICS community, but the 6482 module had not been developed. The differences in command’s syntax and functions between the two PicoAmmeters required SLAC to write a compatible...

  21. 6. Extending mbbiDirect and mbboDirect to 32 bits
    Dr Dirk Zimoch (PSI)
    07/10/2017, 15:10
    The two bit field records mbbiDirect and mbboDirect have 32 bit RVAL fields already but only a 16 bit VAL field and bit fields B0-BF. I present the extension to 32 bit VAL fields with additional bit fields B10-B1F and its implications for device supports.

  22. 5. IOC utilities
    Dr Dirk Zimoch (PSI)
    07/10/2017, 15:15
    Debugging IOCs is often a difficult task. One frequent class of problems is reverse look-up like "Which links point to this record?" or "What are the alias names of this record?" I present several new utilities to help with reverse look-up of alias names, data base links, channel access connections, and info fields.

  23. 7. Channel Access Push
    Dr Dirk Zimoch (PSI)
    07/10/2017, 15:30
    This is a proposal for a new CA connection method with avoids broadcasts. Sometimes one well known client (e.g. the archiver) needs to connect to a large number of PVs on many IOCs. Now instead of the client looking for PVs, the IOCs could contact the client at startup. After that the usual monitor subscription mechanism could be used to transfer the data. This not only reduces broadcast...

  24. 11. Channel Access from Cython (and other Cython use cases)
    Dr Jan Chrin (Paul Scherrer Institute)
    07/10/2017, 16:30
    Cython is a high-level, Python-like, programming language with the ability to interface to C/C++ libraries. It is equipped with a compiler that translates Cython source into optimized C/C++ code, which in turn may be compiled into a Python extension module. In this way, a Python interface that allows existing code in an external C++ Channel Access library to be natively accessed has been...

  25. 17. The Lua Chunk Vault, an Enhancement to EPICS Base
    Mr Jeff Hill (LANSCE)
    07/10/2017, 16:45
    Within EPICS base, LANSCE has multiple independent Lua contexts. They exist for implementing an enhanced Lua-based EPICS shell, the Lua-based scripting record, and for implementing advanced Lua-based subscription update filtering within the Channel Access Server. It is necessary to populate new Lua contexts with application specific code segments. Furthermore, efficiency requirements increase...
