Hi all,
I’m newbie to EPICS and I need some help to start
using it. I’m trying to develop an IOC based on a Windows XP PC. I have
already build EPICS Base 3.14.9 with win32-x86 architecture and execute the
“Example IOC Application” and “Channel Access Host
Example” from the Application Developers Guide.
Now, I would like to connect a card to the IOC (PC)
via RS-232. I think I need the Asyn interface from SynApps. But, I have no
clear how to do it. I have to program something or a generic support for any
RS-232 connection is already made? Does it change depending on the card to be
used? What would I need? Record, Device and Driver support? Some of those? One
of those? Maybe, another solution…
On the other hand, when I have to develop the
database? Before or after record/driver/device support? How to do it simply and
fast?
Thanks in advance
Gorka
