	Old CAEN SY527 HV system is used in Drift Chamber (3 mainframes, IOC in ''dccntrl'' VME crate) and in Large Angle Calorimater (4 mainframes, IOC in ''camac2'' VME crate).

	~~Drift Chamber HV system originally was not under~~ EPICS~~, it~~ was ~~(and still is) controlled by ''dchv'' software (UNIX and VxWorks components) written by Vardan Gurjyan. New system deployed~~ in ~~January 2009 includes both original ''dchv''~~ and ~~new EPICS functionality. ''Dchv'' UNIX components are located in ''$CLON/src/dchv/''~~. ~~''Dchv'' VxWorks components~~ were ~~moved to ''$BASEB/src/iocsy527App/src''~~, ~~modified~~ and ~~placed into two files: ''v288~~.~~c'' contains low level hardware-controlling functions~~ and CAEN HV wrapper-like calls, while ''dchv.c'' contains support for ''dchv'' UNIX components. Main difference between old and new ''dchv'' is that old ''dchv'' software controlled HV hardware directly, while in new scheme it talks to the EPICS driver.		LAC EPICS control was implemented in September 2007 and works since then. Some errors were observed from CAENET transactions, and our software is able to recover those errors successfully. At some time in future we may have a chance to discuss and probably debug those errors with CAEN experts.
