Python SoftIOC with CONDA
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 if you have CONDA
$ conda create --name <name_of_environment> python=3.8.13 $ conda activate epics $ pip install cothread==2.20.0 $ pip install softioc==4.5.0 |
This is the minimal environment for operating a SoftIOC in Python.
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.
