Just realized that not working may have been a bit vauge. I am running

the test IOC that I picked up during the October collaboration meeting

and trying to point each of the widegets at PVs in this test IOC.

Typically my comments relate to pointing at the test IOC which is on the

same computer as the CSS client.

Not working for things like the gauge, tank and thermometer typically

means that I have a static value of 50 which is hard coded into the

default value hard coded into the display.

To get things going to this point I have set the Default Schema to EPICS.

I have been playing around with this the last couple of days,

especially with SDS. I seem to be finding that either not all of the

widgets are functional or I am missing something major in the setup.

Things like sliders, thumbwheels, bargraphs,16bit LEDs,stripcharts and

the meter are working but the Express Meter, Knob, gauge, Text Input,

tank and thermometer do not. Just wandering how much of this is me

missing something and how much is just problems yet to solve. Note

that I am starting with the Basic distribution.

Hi:

At the Vancouver EPICS meeting it became apparent that several people

are

interested in trying Control System Studio (CSS), but it's unclear where
to start.
Those who download CSS from DESY find a product with login dialog for
DESY; the SNS version asks you to select a "Workspace", has no
Synoptic Display but instead stuff which only works at the SNS.

A recent effort of SNS, Cosylab and DESY made it easier to create

your own,

site-specific CSS product. Based on that, the SNS CSS web page now

offers

a "Basic EPICS" version of CSS with (hopefully) no DESY or SNS

specifics:

http://ics-web.sns.ornl.gov/css/products.html

The updated web page should also make it easier to see how
a Basic EPICS product differs from the SNS or DESY setup.

Thanks,
-Kay
