Visual DCT [1] (Visual Database Configuration Tool) is becoming the most popular graphical database configuration tool for EPICS [2] databases. EPICS is a widely used control system based on a real-time database configured from text files. The configuration data comes from two types of files one defines templates and the other instantiates channels from them. The current EPICS template substitu...

Intracellular responses during phasic Electroencephalograph (EEG) arousal were recorded from 229 motor cortical neurons in the cat encéphale isolé preparations. Identified dominant responses were excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) in 105 cells (E cells), inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (IPSPs) in 74 cells (I cells), disfacilitation in 48 cells (DF cells), and disinhibition in two cel...

Channel Archiver is a generic periodic sampling toolset for EPICS. Using the EPICS Channel Access (CA) network protocol, it can collect real-time data from any CA server on the network. Ion Cyclotron Resonance Heating (ICRH) Data Acquisition and Control (DAC) system uses the Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS) and MDSplus software packages. In, two fundamentally different...

We will use EPICS toolkit [1] to build a prototype for upgrading BEPC control system. The purposes are threefold: (1) Setup a network based distributed control system with EPICS. (2) Study some front-end control technology. (3) Merge the existing control systems into EPICS. The hardware architecture consists of three physical layers. The front-end layer consists of VME crate, PowerPC, VME I/O m...

The Idaho Accelerator Center (IAC) of Idaho State University, has been operating nine low energy accelerators for nuclear physics applications and medical isotope production [1]. But almost all of those accelerators do not have modern computer based systems to control the various accelerator components remotely. To obtain stable accelerator operations with a good reproducibility, the EPICS acce...

The Static Database Access library was first introduced in EPICS (Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System) Release 3.11 in 1994. It provides an application program interface (API) for database configuration tools written in C to manipulate database record definitions and is used for various tasks within the core EPICS software. This paper describes the structure of a replacement for ...
