WEPHA075	EPICS Also for Small and Medium Sized Experiments	1269
	H. Junkes FHI, Berlin, Germany
	The Max Planck Society (MPS) is now promoting the use of EPICS for data acquisition within its organization. An attempt is being made to establish an alternative to commercial systems. Not only the big experiments like radio telescopes, LIGO, accelerators and FELs will be supported, but also smaller to medium experiments. This will also benefit MPS users at beamlines of accelerators. In order to make EPICS also attractive for less IT-affine experimenters (besides physicists also chemists and biochemists), the first step is to revise the documentation, to create some dummy instructions, but also to develop, set up and test demonstration and production hardware. One focus at a later stage will be the use of the real-time operating system RTEMS. The poster shows the current status of the project and explains the planned further measures.
