epicsdev

Helper module for creating EPICS PVAccess servers.

Demo:

python pip install epicsdev
python -m epicsdev.epicsdev

To control and plot:

python pip install pypeto,pvplot
python -m pypeto -c config -f epicsdev

Multi-channel waveform generator

Module epicdev.multiadc can generate large amount of data for stress-testing the EPICS environment. For example the following command will generate 10000 of 100-point noisy waveforms and 40000 of scalar parameters per second.

python -m epicsdev.multiadc -s0.1 -c10000 -n100

The GUI for monitoring:
python -m pypeto -c config -f multiadc

The graphs should look like this: control page, plots.

Example of Phoebus display, as defined in config/epicsdev.bob.

Using AI to generate PVAccess server for arbitrary instruments.

The epicsdev module is designed to be suitable for automatic development using AI agents.
The roadmap to create a server for new instrument using copilot at github:

• Create new repository.
• In the prompt section enter something like this:
  'Build device support for Tektronix MSO oscilloscopes using epicsdev_rigol_scope as a template and programming manual at < link to a pdf file >.'
• In 20-40 minutes the copilot will create a pull request.
• Follow instructions to review, commit and merge.

As an example, the generated server for Tektronix MSO oscilloscope was 99% correct and it reqiured very minor modifications.
