Hi,

You could also implement really quickly an EPICS server in C# or any other .NET language which could easily serve any value you want over the network and then be read from any other EPICS client / server.

Check out our documentation here: http://sourceforge.net/p/epicssharp/wiki/server/

Sincerely,

Dear all,

We need to pass some values, calculated from photographs, to the EPICS network from a windows machine.
Is it easy to install an IOC server in a windows machine?
If not, our idea is to create the PVs in an already running IOC server (on linux), and use caput tool (from the EPICS Extensions http://aps.anl.gov/epics/distributions/win32/index.php) to update the values.
Is it possible to create an  PV that is not associated with any hardware in a IOC server? Is it enough to add a record in the ioc.db file?

Thanks in advance for your help.
