Welcome to PezcaCA’s documentation!
PezcaCA - An EPICS Channel Access Library
PezcaCA is a Perl library for the EPICS Channel Access Network Protocol.
It is intended to provide an easy way to use Channel access in Perl.
PezcaCA is compatible with Pezca, an older implementation that uses the ezca C library.
An advantage of PezcaCA over Pezca is that this library only needs the Perl ‘CA’ module, that is provided with each EPICS Base.
You can use PezcaCA as replacement for Pezca, the module and function names are the same, so you don’t have to modify your scripts.
