EPICS Record Processing and Device Support Usage in Raspberry Pi

An open source software tool kit is EPICS (Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System) developed and maintained by Argonne National laboratory, US and is in use worldwide. It maintains the server client distributed control system. Communication between server and client are done through a named piece of data called Process Variable (PV). There may be many client and many servers. [1]. this paper presents record processing in EPICS and usage of device support in Raspberry Pi. EPICS record processing was done using VDCT (Visual Database Configuration Tool) and GPIO access of Raspberry Pi is also shown using device support.
