Hmmm ....
What does the user
see? Either Kay or Jeff or
Ralph
I think this is actually two topics (and I don't remember my name being
associated with either one):
V4 User Interface to Channel Access
V4 User Interface to Data
While there are heavy cross dependencies between those two, they are
really separate in terms of what things are interfacing to.
I'd actually be more interested in getting an agreement on the general
structure of the client side:
- Should base contain simplified versions of both CA and DA
interfaces? (Which some might call "user-friendly", others wouldn't...)
- Or only a simplified Data Interface?
If yes: Which Data Interface should the CA User Interface use, then?
Only the simplified, which takes away the possibility to create a
client that uses DA directly?
Only DA, which makes it hard to use a simplified Data Interface with CA?
If we agree on which interfaces go where and which library layers are
there to satisfy different personal interface taste, it would be a lot
easier to put name tags on all those things.
How do you call data access to get that to
work? Jeff or Ralph
This really is the problem of whoever implements a library layer that
adopts other interfaces to the low-level stuff.
And noone will be able to come up with a reasonable answer before you
define "that".
One other issue: I do think that we should try soon (and hard) to
define and find general EPICS-wide interfaces for the complex types
(strings, structs, arrays, maps, hashes, ...) - still not having
decided how to handle these is really keeping other interface
definitions from getting closer to final.
See you tomorrow!
Ralph
ps. I still can't find your notes of the last meeting on the wiki.
Didn't we agree on your and my version being accessible to have
something less biased than everyone's own memories?

I still do not see how what the user sees and
how that connects to the Data Access layer.
Am I just missing it? It would not be the first time.
So really - two things -
What does the user see?
Either Kay or Jeff or Ralph
How do you call data access to get that to work? Jeff or Ralph
