As with all Python projects, it is good practice to create a development environment in which to install all the libraries necessary for testing:
Procedure for CONDA Environment
$ conda create --name <name_of_environment> python=3.8.13
$ conda activate<name_of_environment>
$ pip install cothread==2.20.0
$ pip install softioc==4.5.0 |
This is the minimal environment for operating a SoftIOC in Python.
...
It is good practice to exit all environments before activating the desired environment in order to avoid problems.
$ conda deactivate
$ conda activate <name_of_environment> |
Test SoftIOC with CS-Studio
To do tests on the IOC you can either use the terminal from which the IOC itself was launched, or you can use CS-Studio Phoebus.
1.Terminal
(epics) $ python test.py
INFO: PVXS QSRV2 is loaded, permitted, and ENABLED.
