Hi,

I am using the Python PyEpics3 tool (UChicago), and it seems to take about 0.2 seconds to caget() my PV.

For safety, my system will need the fastest control system.

Why does EPICS take so long? Do all tools take this long? Is this just a Python problem?


As suggested by others, try the command-line tool "caget" first.

FYI, I don't think pyepics has a speed problem.
From an ipython sesson:

In [16]: %timeit -n10 caget('XF:23ID-ES:1{ZP-Ax:TopX}Mtr')
10 loops, best of 3: 339 us per loop

This is fetching a motor record value.
