Osprey is the go-to company for EPICS training. Our CEO is the principal architect of EPICS, dating back to its inception at Los Alamos in 1988. Our CTO led development and implementation of the EPICS 7 communication protocol and is a key architect of EPICS extensions used in full stack solutions. In short, we know EPICS because we built it.
What We Teach
Our training goes deep into the core capabilities of EPICS and covers the full stack. Here’s what you’ll learn:
- EPICS’ expert-level internals.
- How to integrate new hardware using driver mechanisms.
- New EPICS 7 features (virtual accelerators, table, N-D arrays, statistical samples, images, etc.)
- Example drivers for DAQ at up to 250 kHz sample rates
- 750 MBps data transfer into UNIX
- Integration of slices into EPICS to support machine learning
- Machine protection
- Physics studies
- …and more
Who We Train
We provide expert training on EPICS for Scientific Control Systems. Training is customized for users familiar with EPICS and control systems.
Training Options
Typical engagements run for one week with 10 to 20 participants, though we can tailor to your specific needs. We conduct both open and closed sessions, on or off-site.
Our Approach
Because we are practitioners as well as educators, our training reflects real‑world constraints, tools, and workflows—from specification through design and implementation. Your team gains skills that translate directly into performance.
