Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System

Hi,
	I hope I understood how I can do device support. Then I move to
3.14.4 version and try to do it. After 3 days (I worked time to time) I
understood basic steps. This is list of steps:

1. in .../src/ directory
	- create devInterfaceSoft.c file with special rules
		...
		struct {
			...
		} devInterfaceSoft{
			...
		};
		...
	- create InterfaceSupport.dbd file
		device( waveform, CONSTANT, devInterfaceSoft,
"DetectorInterface")
	- add to <name>Include.dbd (name from makeBaseApp ...) after
include "base.dbd" line next line
		include "InterfaceSupport.dbd"
	- add to Makefile file after LIBRARY_IOC += ***Support
(!!!Support from Example template)
		DBD += InterfaceSupport.dbd
		xxxSupport_SRCS += devInterfaceSoft.c

Now you can be happy with first compiling.

2. in .../db/ directory
	- create dbDetector.db file
		record( waveform, "$(Detector):SetParameters"){
			...
			field(DTYP, "DetectorInterface")
			...
		}
	- add to Makefile
		DB += dbDetector.db

Now you can be happy with second compiling.		

3. At end you can begin to use this device.
	- add in st.cmd 
		dbLoadRecords("db/dbDetector.db","Detector=Detector1")


After that I have a question. Moreover, I have this question all time
when I try to do new or with new version of Epics:
Can Epics live simpler? Can it be more comfortable for user?
What do Epics users think about? Maybe it is Ok and I couldn't
understand this :)?

Have good holidays,
Andrei.
