It will also create a\n'bin' directory in your /home/xspress3/epics' folder that contains\nscripts to set your environment and run the Xspress3 IOC:\n\n    bin/bash_profile.sh     bash script to set environmental variables\n    bin/procServ            useful utility for long-running tasks like an IOC\n    bin/medm                simple, minimal Epics display manager\n    bin/run_xspress3.sh     bash script to run an XSPRESS3 IOC\n    bin/start_ioc           python script to run the Xspress3 using procServ\n    bin/run_xrfcontrol.py   python script to view and control the Xpsress3\n    bin/run_medm.sh         bash script to launch medm for your Xspress3\n\n\nAfter building you can configure an Xspress3 IOC, starting with one of\nthe defaults in the\n    /home/xspress3/epics/xspress3/iocs/xspress3IOC/iocBoot\n\ndirectory. Note that if you change the prefix or the number of\ndetector elements used, you may need to edit several of the files in\nthe bin/ directory to match your configuration.\n\nOnce properly configured, you should be able to run your xspress3 in a\nlong-running procServ process with\n\n    /home/xspress3/epics/bin/start_ioc xspress3\n\nand then view screens for your detector either using an Epics display\nmanager like medm, caqtdm, or css/boy.  Display screens for these\ndisplay managers can be found in the folders\n\n    /home/xspress3/epics/adls   screen files for medm\n    /home/xspress3/epics/uis    screen files for caqtm\n    /home/xspress3/epics/opis   screen files for css/boy\n\nFor example, you will be able to run MEDM for your Xspress3 with\n\n    /home/xspress3/epics/bin/run_medm.sh\n\nYou will also be able to run a dedicated XRF Control application with\n\n    /home/xspress3/epics/bin/run_xrfcontrol.py\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fepics-modules%2Fxspress3","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fepics-modules%2Fxspress3","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fepics-modules%2Fxspress3/lists"}
