-APS BCDA synApps module: xxx
+# 100idPy
+EPICS IOC using PyDevice module to integrate python code into PVs
-XXX is a template to use when creating an EPICS IOC that provides beam line support.
-It uses the various modules that comprise synApps and other support.
-
-For more information, see
+The IOC is based off of the xxx template from APS BCDA synApps collection. For
+more information on synAps, see
http://www.aps.anl.gov/bcda/synApps
-converted from APS SVN repository: Fri Nov 20 18:04:37 CST 2015
-
-Regarding the license of tagged versions prior to synApps 4-5,
-refer to http://www.aps.anl.gov/bcda/synApps/license.php

+More information on the PyDevice module can be found here:
+ https://github.com/klemenv/PyDevice
-* [HTML documentation](https://epics-modules.github.io/xxx)
+## Sub-IOCs
+### 100idPyFilters
+Integrates x-ray filter attenuation calculations with control of filter devices.
+Uses xraylib python module.
-### Usage
+### 100idPyCRL
+<upcoming...>
-Edit configure/RELEASE to set the variable SUPPORT
+### 100idPyBL
+<upcoming...>
-If you don't want to build all of the default target architectures
-(see the variable CROSS_COMPILER_TARGET_ARCHS in
-synApps/support/configure/CONFIG, or in base/configure/CONFIG_SITE),
-then edit configure/CONFIG to set the variable CROSS_COMPILER_TARGET_ARCHS.
+## Setting up
-Edit iocBoot/iocxxx/Makefile to set the variable ARCH and correct targets
+### Python Environment
-Edit iocBoot/iocxxx/st.cmd.* to agree with your hardware.
-Example code is provided in the iocBoot/iocxxx/examples folder.
+Need to create conda environment from which to build and run the IOC (should be kept external to IOC file structure)
+Create a source script for activating the environment (e.g. 100idPyFilter_startup_env)
-Edit iocBoot/iocxxx/auto*.req to add any PV's that aren't saved by the
-autobuild system.
-chmod a+w,g+s iocBoot/iocxxx/autosave
+### Startup script changes
+
+xxx.pl --> 100idPyFilters.pl
+Added definitions:
+PYDEV_STARTUP —> file to be sourced that includes conda activation and updates to LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+PYDEV_IOC_CMD —> combined source and IOC_CMD for use in screen call
-Run synApps/support/utils/changePrefix to change the prefix from 'xxx'
-to whatever you want
+New command files in iocBoot/ioc100idPyFilters/softioc/commands:
+pyrun.pl — had to combine source command and IOC startup command into one line:
+```
+system("source ${PYDEV_STARTUP} && ${IOC_CMD}");
+```
+
+pystart.pl — And in 6-3 looks like:
+```
+system("$SCREEN -dm -S $IOC_NAME -h 5000 -L -Logfile $LOG_FILE bash -c \"$PYDEV_IOC_CMD\"");
+```
+
+## Running
+Should be able run like any other xxx-based (synApps) IOC i.e. by running the xxx.pl file (or as in one the new examples in this IOC 100idPyFilters.pl)
-Run gnumake
