Hello Carsten,
Thank you for your reply. Could you please confirm for me that this is done by
adding the environment variable to windows via the Windows Advance System
Properties > Environment Variables, or is there another configuration file
located somewhere that the CALab vi's refer to?
I have also got the extra problem that there are PV's on different IOC's which I
want to access but they have all been setup to different ports. Can you list
multiple ports, or do you have to manipulate the variable dynamically in code to
change the port number for each IOC?
Kind Regards,
David

Hello Dave,
please set the environment variable EPICS_CA_SERVER_PORT for all systems with
running CA Lab clients and they will connect.
You're right, CA Lab runs only on Windows and Linux PCs but not on real-time
controllers.
God luck with the EPICS IO Server.
Regards,
Carsten

Hello,
Locally our EPICS control system has been modified so that the several IOC
servers which are running of the computer we call control have had their
EPICS_CA_SERVER_PORT variable set to values other than 5064, ie 49200 and
49212... Needles to say that both the EPICS IO Server native to LabVIEW is now
unable to access the PV's, and likewise the CALab vi's can no longer access
them either. I am unable to discover if there is a way to change the "port
number" so that I can get either the NI or CALabs vi's working again. The
native I/O server is important as it runs on the real-time controllers where I
believe the CA Lab vi’s can only run on a windows application. I am only
recently started down this path of LabVIEW EPICS communications, and would
greatly appreciate input.
Thanks in advance,
Dave
