Channel Access Client Toolbox for Matlab
Abstract
This paper reports on Matlab Channel Access (MCA) Toolbox Matlab [1] interface to Epics Channel Access (CA) client library. We are developing the toolbox for SPEAR3 accelerator controls but it is of general use for accelerator and experimental physics applications programming. It is packaged as Matlab toolbox to allow easy development of complex CA client applications entirely in Matlab. The benefits include: the ability to calculate and display parameters that use Epics process variables as inputs, availability of Matlab graphics tools for user interface design, and integration with Matlab-based accelerator modeling tool Matlab Accelerator Toolbox. Another purpose of this paper is to propose a feasible path to a synergy between accelerator control systems and accelerator simulation codes, the idea also known as on-line accelerator model.
