You will need to set COMPAT_313 to YES if you want R3.13 ioc applications or R3.13 extensions built with this R3.14 base. +If you wish to build only R3.13 extensions and not R3.13 ioc +applications with this R3.14 base, you can install scripts +needed by the R3.13 build by doing a gnumake in the +<base>/config/tools directory.
The COMPAT_313 macro is set to NO in the CONFIG_SITE distribution file.
+A new set of templates has been included in R3.14.5 to +implement a Virtual LINAC in an ioc using databases and +sequence programs. The Virtual LINAC simulates the generation +and transmission of an electron beam down a LINAC. Several +steering coils, BPMs, and other typical accelerator components +are simulated to provide a realistic interaction between the +operator and the "LINAC". Since it is an entirely soft application, +it will work on any platform. An medm display is provided as the +primary GUI. It can also be used to experiment with other CA +client tools.
+ +To install the templates, use the following commands:
+ ++ mkdir+ ++ cd + <base>/bin/<arch>/makeBaseApp.pl -t vlinac vlinac + <base>/bin/<arch>/makeBaseApp.pl -i -t vlinac vlinac +
