Description
EPICS IOCs can be quite inefficient to develop and inflexible to use, because of architectural limitations inherent in EPICS itself. Based on the caproto library, we developed the queue_iocs framework, which we expect to be capable of replacing most EPICS IOCs currently used with more maintainable and flexible Python IOCs. Simple examples include workalikes of StreamDevice and asyn; seq-like examples include monochromators, motor anti-bumping and motor multiplexing. A queue_iocs-based counterpart of areaDetector is also introduced, which overcomes areaDetector's limitations in performance and architecture. Interesting byproducts involved include a simple but expressive architecture for GUIs, workalikes of procServ/procServControl, and extensions to ADGenICam that allow it to support a much wider range of detectors.
