Hello,

I'm working on an automatic data analysis of electron beam (emittance

measurement with a wire scanner and a magnetic lens) with EPICS.

I get values from the hardware (self build measurement cards). The

device support put the values into a longin records (this part is fixed,

because it is already used for other applications).

I need to gather the values (will be a position and a corresponding

current) for a certain amount of time (approximately 1000 to 10000

values) and then hand it over to a subroutine, to perform the analysis

(like fitting a curve onto the data). It should all run on a debian machine.

My problem is to collect the data with EPICS. I thought about collecting

them somehow in a waveform record, but i have no idea, how to do this by

using other records instead of the device support.

Best regards,

Kai Stein
