Starting DIM prototype from H.Brand

Installation of DIM

Just follow Epics if you do not already have an installation. You have to be careful with some points, though:

• You should not start tcsh and source .setup. Instead, stay on the shell and use the setup script setup.sh. Because the original file has an error, download setup.sh here.

Installation of the caDIMInterface

Download H. Brands implementation here: caDIMInterface.tar and extract with tar -xvvz caDIMInterface.tar .
To ensure the correctness of the environment variables, look at the /caDIMInterface/caDIMClient/iocBoot/ioccaDIMClient/envPaths file and the /caDIMInterface/caDIMServer/iocBoot/ioccaDIMServer/envPaths file.

Run the caDIMServer

This works analog to the iocExample described at LiveInstallationDocumentation .

Change directory to /caDIMInterface/caDIMServer/iocBoot/ioccaDIMServer/ and type /caDIMInterface/caDIMServer/caDIMServerApp/src/O.linux-x86/caDIMServer st.cmd to start the caDIMServer.

Run the caDIMClient

Maybe this works just like the server...

• caDIMInterface.tar: This is the prototype by H. Brand

• setup.sh: This is the corrected version of the dim setup script, to be used on the shell.
