I've also been using SCA with call library function nodes in our labview CA clients for quite some time, and it has worked very well for me. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get the version based on 3.14 to work properly w/ my clients. I believe there is a version based on 3.14 using ActiveX controls but I have not tried using it to any significant extent.

Wesley,
I suppose you've googled and searched tech-talk.

I've been using a Simple Channel Access (SCA) package with LabVIEW support for years. It works but it has problems when an IOC is rebooted, so I'm all for for a better solution but it has perennially been a low priority.

Several methods are described at GSI:
http://wiki.gsi.de/cgi-bin/view/Epics/ConnectingLabVIEWandEPICS

National Instruments offers two solutions. The first is to buy LabVIEW and the add-on Data Supervisory & Control Package, which has EPICS CA support built-in. The second method which I haven't tried doesn't require the DSC and is described at

tech-talkers,
Yes I know this has been done, but what's the difficulty in setting this up? What is the preferred method and has the experience been good or bad? It seems like the decision to support this is based on extent of it's usage.

Thanks for any comments,
Wesley
