EPICS Related Information in Linac and KEKB Controls

[Local info] [Devices / Software] [Operating systems] [Meeting archives] [Bottom]

EPICS was selected as the base of the KEKB control system in 1995, after the discussion since ~1994. It was studied as well at Linac since 1994, and has been incorporated on to the original linac control system.
