EPICS Base is truly Open Source (ANL Announcement 04-Feb-2004)

All versions of EPICS Base have now been made publicly available without restriction - the EAR-99 export restrictions no longer apply, so the code has been relicensed using the EPICS Open License.

Vista Control Systems

Vista software has been used to control the 2C radioisotope production beamline at TRIUMF since 1989. In addition, TRIUMF has purchased Hytec crate crate controllers and couplers for CAMAC, VME and PCI systems from them.

"We are the representative for Hytec in the US and Hytec has many units with EPICS drivers and now a 1U IOC with computer, disk and I/O all included - the 9010." - Peter Clout, Vista Control Systems, Los Alamos, 2007-01-31
