Description

EPICS offers a collection of software tools for setting up distributed control systems for experimental physics projects.
In order to establish EPICS in the Max Planck Society (MPG) for device control and data acquisition as an alternative to commercial solutions, this project aims to increase the visibility of EPICS within the MPG.
It is planned to improve the documentation of EPICS and to create training documents. A demo hardware will be set up which can be borrowed by the institutes to gain experience with the software.
