sanipy

sanipy is a command-line tool for epics connection testing.

It has two commands (check and compare) and a few option switches (described in sani.py -h and sani.py COMMAND -h).

The data folder contains some channel lists and output files for testing.

check

./sani.py check data/test_chans_good.txt

./sani.py check data/test_chans_bad.txt

Successful connections will be marked in green, failed connection in red, and alarm states will be printed in yellow.

compare

./sani.py compare data/test1.csv data/test4 -v

./sani.py compare data/test1.csv data/test3

Entries that are identical in both files will not be shown. Differences will be printed as LEFT | RIGHT.

(Note that .csv is automatically appended to filenames if missing.)
