EPICS Server-Level

The Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS) [1,2,3,4,5,6] collaboration has more than 100 members worldwide. This collaboration has a joint open-source software development initiative to produce modular control system software components. A new network server side application programmer’s interface (API) for EPICS described earlier1 was expected to increase the utility and flexibility of the EPICS software. We briefly describe some of the many applications that are now using this API, and how it has led to new uses for many components in the EPICS software distribution.
