[dsg-hdice] LabView vi for for communicating with EPICS

[Brian Eng]

Kevin,

Installing the real-time module will get you the NI EPICS Server and Client.

The Server is more similar to an IOC, but if one already exists to host the PVs I'd suggest using the Client as the NI implementation isn't as full features as a "real" IOC.

You can then use that to alias Shared Variables to the EPICS PVs.

If you wanted to stop by to see the code that we're running on cRIOs just let me know.

Could you please help him to realize that? We were told that you have done a good job on thatrecently. Kevin's message is attached below, please take a look.
