Support module to provide control over procServ instances in EPICS.
The most important PVs provided are:
$(P):START - Start IOC
$(P):STOP - Stop IOC
$(P):RESTART - Restart IOC
$(P):IOCOUT - Last 20 lines of IOC output
-
This expects procServ version 2.7.0, but earlier versions should work.
-
The version of EPICS base tested was R3.12.14.7, but any version will work.
-
Asyn can be used for establishing the TCP/IP connection to procServ. Any version of Asyn will work.
-
A patch is required to procServ v2.7.0 to change the restart-character from
^Rto^X:
