The installation is very easy and quick in all operating systems.SNS CSS is more user friendly and more stable.CSS has poor documentation. (A little OnlineHelp and some BOY EXAMPLES). These helps are not sufficient for understanding all possible widget’s uses. I have reproduced all Rudolf’s and Maurizio’s interfaces.I tested the Oven Interface, and speaking with Alberto Calore is born the necessity of a Voltage Current graphics

In the installation of Channel Access Archiver (SNS)I found many errors in compiling the CA, because the release found in the Epics Site is optimized for an old compiler, (I found some solutions in the Tech-Talk section of Epics‘ webpage)

I wrote a wiki page where I reported all errors that I found.After the installation, I studied how to use and configure these applications: 1) ArchiveEngine 2) ArchiveExport 3) ArchiveDataServer

ArchiveEngine is necessary to store a PVArchiveExport is a line command tool for the retrieval of the data stored by ArchiveEngineArchiveDataServer is a Server tool for some client retrieval tools as ChannelAccessArchiverViewer, CSS, ArchiveDataClient.

I used the CSS and ArchiveDataClient to see my data stored with ArchiveEngine, and I found a problem to access this file. At the moment I am working to solve this.
