Title: Experimental physics and industrial control system (EPICS) input/output controller (IOC) application developer`s guide

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/205865· OSTI ID:205865

This document describes the core software that resides in an Input/Output Controller (IOC), one of the major components of EPICS. The plan of the book is: EPICS overview, IOC test facilities, general purpose features, database locking - scanning - and processing, static database access, runtime database access, database scanning, record and device support, device support library, IOC database configuration, IOC initialization, and database structures. Other than the first chapter this document describes only core IOC software. Thus it does not describe other EPICS tools such as the sequencer. It also does not describe Channel Access, a major IOC component.
