I have a few LabVIEW systems that use the Simple Channel
Access (SCA) package from Timossi, et al. I use SCA as a CA
client only, so the LabVIEW programs do a handful of gets
and puts to an IOC at about a 1 second rate.  The LabVIEW
systems are basically stand-alone; We use the CA interface
to couple the subsystem into our experiment's shot cycle and
for (central) alarm handling. From my viewpoint, LabVIEW is
attractive because of it's extensive device support, often
supplied for free by the hardware vendor. For our simple
EPICS/LabVIEW interfaces we don't need performance.
