"archiver" capabilities in Bliss ?
Hi,
EPICS has an interesting feature that is called Archiver that allows to record variables (all the so called PVs) using monitoring or polling (see a very brief intro here. Often all motors positions are archived. I don't know how it works internally.
I think that something similar could be very useful for the beamlines at the very least for all environmental variables (thermocouples, vacuum pressures, etc.).
Is there any plan to add this capability in Bliss ? Bliss should ideally be able to read data from all the data sources so it could make sense to have a special instance that runs as Archiver.
An API/tool to retrieve data would also be needed,
thanks very much in advance for your comment,
