Description
The controls system for the ISIS accelerator is being migrated from using the commercial software Vsystem to EPICS. The primary protocol used for transporting process variables (PVs) across the network is pvAccess and the Python-based software p4p is used to create servers that provide access to process variables using PVA servers. A custom wrapper for p4p is being implemented to simplify and standardise the way in which PVA servers work. This will allow users to easily create PVA servers for their own devices whilst allowing automatic registration with other services, for example ChannelFinder.
