Compare CSS Products

CSS is a collection of Eclipse Plug-ins which then get combined into a Product. We offer a Basic EPICS product where the startup screen guides you through the EPICS Channel Access settings. Other products are pre-configured for the SNS Office network or control room, and include support for the SNS ELog, Oracle Database, and Alarm System.

Check out this table to find out what is included in each product.

Some packages are available as binaries for various operating systems. The source code down-load includes the sources for all products offered by SNS. The complete sources are in the DESY CVS repository.
