EPICS Example IOC Applicaton

1. Creation of a new IOC Application named <My Example Application>:
   
   $> mkdir <top>
$> cd <top>
$> $EPICS_BASE/bin/${EPICS_HOST_ARCH}/makeBaseApp.pl -t example <My Example Application>
$> $EPICS_BASE/bin/${EPICS_HOST_ARCH}/makeBaseApp.pl -i -t example <My Example Application>
$> make
$> cd iocBoot/ioc<My Example Application>
2. Starting the IOC:
   (<Target> (e.g.: linux-x86, or ${EPICS_HOST_ARCH}), <My Example Application>, <Top>, <Epics Base Directory> and <User> have been replaced in the output )
   
   $> ../../bin/<Target>/<My Example Application> st.cmd
   

       #!../../bin/<target>/<My Example Application>
       ## You may have to change <My Example Application> to something else
       ## everywhere it appears in this file
       < envPaths
       epicsEnvSet(ARCH,"<Target>")
       epicsEnvSet(IOC,"ioc<My Example Application>")
       epicsEnvSet(TOP,"<top>")
       epicsEnvSet(EPICS_BASE,"<Epics Base Directory>")
       cd <top>
       ## Register all support components
       dbLoadDatabase("dbd/<My Example Application>.dbd")
       <My Example Application>_registerRecordDeviceDriver(pdbbase)
       ## Load record instances
       dbLoadTemplate "db/userHost.substitutions"
       dbLoadRecords("db/dbSubExample.db","user=<user>Host")
       ## Set this to see messages from mySub
       #var mySubDebug 1
       cd <top>/iocBoot/ioc<My Example Application>
       iocInit()
       Starting iocInit

3. Listing the available PVs:
   
   epics> dbl
   

      <user>Host:aiExample
      <user>Host:aiExample1
      ...
      <user>Host:xxxExample
      

4. Any EPICS client should be able to see those PVs, e.g.:
   
   $> camonitor <User>Host:aiExample1
   

      <user>Host:aiExample1        2007-08-09 10:42:00.037941 4 LOW MINOR
      <user>Host:aiExample1        2007-08-09 10:42:01.039624 5
      <user>Host:aiExample1        2007-08-09 10:42:02.041629 6 HIGH MINOR
