Adapter Specifics

EPICS Adapter Specifics

The EPICS adapter takes only one optional argument:

  • prefix: This string is prefixed to all PV names. Defaults to empty / no prefix.

Arguments meant for the adapter can be specified with the adapter options. For example:

$ python lewis.py chopper --adapter-options "epics: {prefix: 'SIM2:'}"

On Linux, this means that EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST must include this networks broadcast address:

$ export EPICS_CA_AUTO_ADDR_LIST=NO
$ export EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST=172.17.255.255
$ export EPICS_CAS_INTF_ADDR_LIST=localhost

Stream Adapter Specifics

The TCP Stream adapter has the following optional arguments:

  • bind_address: Address of network adapter to listen on. Defaults to “0.0.0.0” (all network adapters).

  • port: Port to listen for connections on. Defaults to 9999.

  • telnet_mode: When True, overrides both in and out terminators to CRNL for telnet compatibility. Defaults to False.

Arguments meant for the adapter can be specified with the adapter options. For example:

$ python lewis.py linkam_t95 -p "stream: {bind_address: localhost, port: 1234}"
