DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Simon Gregor Ebner (Paul Scherrer Institute)\nFor ma
 ny user as well as beamline and machine scientists Matlab is the tool of c
 hoice for data analysis and modelling. To facilitate the interaction of th
 eir code with the Epics control system the Controls group of PSI provides 
 and supports a new Matlab Channel Access library. The library has no other
  dependencies than Matlab itself and can be used on all major operating sy
 stems. The usage of the library is as easy as downloading it and to dynami
 cally load it from a Matlab application.\n\nhttps://events01.synchrotron.o

 any sites\, its feature set is quite complete. Still\, there is always roo
 m for improvement. The display builder project aims for the design and dev
 elopment of an upgrade that is highly compatible\, specifically reads exis
 ting *.opi files\, but with more modular code that removes our dependence 
 on GEF\, SWT\, and the UI thread. Initial demonstrations show performance 
 gains of JavaFX over SWT especially Linux\, plus a general move of the dat

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Sinisa Veseli (Argonne National Laboratory)\nAs the 
 number of sites deploying and adopting EPICS Version 4 grows\, so does the
  need to support PV Access from multiple languages. Especially important a
 re the widely used scripting languages that tend to reduce both software d
 evelopment time and the learning curve for new users. In this paper we des
 cribe PvaPy\, a Python API for the EPICS PV Access protocol and its accomp
 anying structured data API. Rather than implementing the protocol itself i
 n Python\, PvaPy wraps the existing EPICS Version 4 C++ libraries using th
 e Boost.Python framework. This approach allows us to benefit from the exis
 ting code base and functionality\, and to significantly reduce the Python 
 API development effort. PvaPy objects are based on Python dictionaries and
  provide users with the ability to access even the most complex of PV Data
  structures in a relatively straightforward way. Its interfaces are easy t
 o use\, and include support for advanced EPICS Version 4 features such as 
 implementation of client and server Remote Procedure Calls (RPC).\n\nhttps

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Simon Ebner (Paul Scherrer Institut)\nTo simplify an
 d speed up the development of Java Channel Access clients PSI Controls and
  Cosylab developed a modern pure Java Channel Access library called CA. Th
 e library overcomes several shortcomings of the current Java libraries bas
 ed on out-dated JCA interfaces. It makes fully use of the Java type system
 \, and easily supports synchronous and asynchronous operations for get\, p
 ut and connect operations. It offers efficient and simple handling of para
 llel operations without the need to use threads by using modern concepts i
 ntroduced in Java 8.\nThis short talk will give you a quick start on how t
 o use this library\, present the underlying concepts\, and show what can b
 e done with it.\n\nhttps://events01.synchrotron.org.au/event/15/contributi

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Mark Clift (Australian Synchrotron)\nA new Asyn base
 d model 3 EPICS driver for Galil products has been written. The software c
 onnects EPICS to all products in the Galil range\, resulting in an easy wa
 y to implement beamline and other synchrotron control equipment. High band
 width updates using UDP is supported enabling high performance analog and 
 digital IO. Standard motor record point to point motion is supported as we
 ll as a litany of new features such as auto power on/off\, wrong limit pro
 tection and more. For high end motor controls\, coordinated velocity traje
 ctory motion for up to 8 motors is available whilst output compare can be 
 used to gate external detectors based on motor position. Up to 8 pseudo or
  virtual motors are also supported. Devices requiring multi-mode coordinat
 ed motion are easily implemented using the provided run-time changeable ki
 nematics. The driver is simple and intuitive\, whilst being flexible\, and
  providing high performance. This EPICS driver for Galil products is the e
 asy way to meet your demanding requirements.\n\nhttps://events01.synchrotr

 is using tapes (LTO 5 & 6) as archive/long-term storage media. The self-de

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Andreas Moll (Australian Synchrotron)\nExperimental 
 Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS) gateways allow the (read-onl
 y) access of almost all of the process variables (PVs) available at the Au
 stralian Synchrotron from almost any network. An EPICS gateway is both a C
 hannel Access server and a Channel Access client. Users connect to the ser
 ver side\, and the client side connects to Input Output Controllers (IOCs)
  as well as other gateways. There are three main reasons to use EPICS gate
 ways in an EPICS based controls system: improved performance by having onl
 y the gateways connect to PVs\, additional access security beyond that of 
 the Channel Access server\, and the ability to bridge different subnets (e
 .g. access accelerator PVs at the beamlines).\n\nIn this talk we will revi
 ew the previous EPICS gateway configuration at the Australian Synchrotron 
 and will explain in detail the new architecture which makes use of dynamic
 ally configured Linux containers running on CentOS 7. Finally we will disc
 uss the experiences gained during the system's past 5 months in production
