Channel Watcher: Software Distribution

This is the SLAC ESD page to get the Channel Watcher software. The Channel Watcher replaces the save part of EPICS save/restore (bumpless reboot) with a channel access client task. For a full description of the purpose, features, and usage of the Channel Watcher look here. The current version of Channel Watcher writes restore files which may have a different format than the one at your site. You may first wish to inspect the restore software provided in the table below. Please direct questions to Mike Zelazny.
