Hi Jingchen.

I've created a new mail thread because your question was linked to this subject:
Motor model 3 support for OMS MAXv-8000?

To answer your question:

Kay already mentioned the SNL editor.
- It helps writing SNL programs
- Running on Linux it will also help compiling and running your programs
(this is not used here because we are running mostly on Windows)
- It provides a basic graphical representation of the states
(We are still looking for collaborators to improve this display...)

To configure our field bus I/O we have an I/O configurator
- creates configuration files for the EPICS field bus driver
- provides references to the I/O which are used from the Database Creation Tool
- created configuration files for the simulation tool

Database Creation Tool
- Create EPICS databases
- most important feature: hierarchical definition of prototypes (records or set of records)
- instantiation of prototypes into databases
- as a minor point it also provide a graphical view of the created database
  (this is not an editor - like VDCT -- for us hierarchy and instantiation have a higher priority)

All tools are CSS plugins and can be added to CSS at your desire.

Cheers
Matthias
p.s.
Jörg is using Eclipse also for IOC development - he'll describe that in another mail


Is there any site using Eclipse for EPICS development? I know CSS is completely developed with Eclipse in many sites. Here I mean the development for EPICS device support, modules, extensions, SNL,  IOC applications and etc. It would be great if you can share your experiences with us. Also, what are the Eclipse plugin available for the development, e.g., plugin for VDCT?



Thank you very much!

Jingchen
