Serve file contents over EPICS - ISISComputingGroup/ibex_developers_manual GitHub Wiki

FileContentsServer

You can serve the raw contents of files in a directory over EPICS by using the "FileContentsServer" component of https://github.com/ISISComputingGroup/EPICS-FileServer

This is done by calling FileContentsServerConfigure(), with an asyn port name as well as a directory path in an st.cmd alongside loading FileContentsServer.db with the same asyn port name.

Device screen

There is an accompanying device screen("File Editor" in the list) for viewing and editing the file served by this mechanism.
