Hi,
Thanks to Marty Kraimer, epics4 normative types are fully implemented now through the epics4 caQtDM plugin. The plugin can be built on
linux and macos. However epics4 cannot be built for ios and
android even when epics3 could be built for these platforms. I wonder if builds for these platforms have already been successfully done.
One can now find a new version in the development path of caQtDM github. V4.1.5.
Anton Mezger, the main author of caQtDM will retire from his duties as Accelerator Operations Manager. He will continue for a 20% job at the Paul Scherrer Institut, mainly for further developing caQtDM. Also he will be free to support your
wishes or to help with any problems. He has family living in the US and could therefore be present for any discussions on further development or help with implementations.
caQtDM, being the only and unique ca viewer at PSI, will of course be developed and supported in the future. You may always ask Anton Mezger and/or Helge Brands.
The most recent features of caQtDM are:
# 4.1.5
# archive plugins added
# epics4 plugin finalized for normative types, thanks to Marty Kraimer
# window management widget implemented (close window, ...)
# careplacemacro widget implemented; allows to redefine macros during runtime
# utilities designer plugin added for widgets not directly related to the control system
# X/Y waveforms implemented in camera view
# bsread plugin developed by Helge Brands finalized
# 4.1.3
# added for the cartesianplot resize of the fatdots plot
# softpv treatment was slowing done caQtDM and is corrected now
# camera has been more optimized for 16bit waveforms (the other types not yet, due to a lack of waveforms types)
# label and vertical label can gave a border now
# caChoice has now the possibility to display a row from the bottom to the top (rowInverse) and is optimized
# soft pv's without a name were not working, now automatically a name is generated
# in order to have cacalc's working correctly in includes, a macro can be used in order to individialize them
# zero values in cartesian plot are now replaced by the lowest non-zero value when logarithmic scale is used
# for infinite values, cartseian plot was taken unlimited resources for display, this should be corrected nw
# slots are added to cagraphics for animation of these objects (tilt angle, span angle, arc, .. can be set now through signals
# caCamera will now zoom by default on the middle of the image and otherwise around the last clicked point
# autorepeat on canumeric has been take out on request of the users
# default timing of the timed update loop has now a lower internal rate, may still be changed by a json string
# .ftvl field of epics is now used to distingues signed anand unsigned display in cawavetable
# in pep file you may add now the keyword -minwidth to an item in order to define the minimum width of it (default value=100).
# you can steer column width like that. also -comsize has been added for the comment to steer the fontsize.
# cachoice has been slightly modified in order to grow instead of shrink (for pep files this was an issue)
# searching of a pv for the infobox would find the pv independently of the associated plugin, giving therefore confusion
