  Vacuume Pump Interface

The maintaince of Ultra High Vacuume in our beam-lines is a constatnt need, and athough Mojor failures are recorded by the interlock systems minor peeks or long term trending can not be recorded that way.

To faclitate opperator interface and history systems a new device support was devloped. Each pump is read for its current prump pressure twice a second. The result is converted and stored in a EPICS Analog Input record (AI) which can then be viewed through operator interface programs such as MEDM, or CBASS.

The full Device support code used to can be found here under our source control system.
