In a word - No. Running two control programs on any system is a bad idea - which program has control? If you were to run IBEX and SECI on the same system, the two would contend for control of individual devices. It would not be clear which device was controlled by which program. The results would be unpredictable.

Yes, it is possible to switch from running IBEX to SECI or to switch from SECI to IBEX, but you have to be careful. See :doc:`obsolete/Switching-Between-IBEX-and-SECI` for details.

The IBEX concept of a block is similar to SECI, in that it is a relevant piece of information chosen by the scientist that will be displayed on the instrument dashboard and, if required, can be logged into the datafile.

In IBEX, a block is, to all intents and purposes, an alias to a process variable. For example, the block ``Chop1Freq`` on LARMOR is defined to be the process variable ``IN:LARMOR:CS:SB:Chop1Freq``. It is much simpler to refer to a block than to refer to a process variable. Utilities like genie_python know about blocks, and you can use commands such as ``cset`` to access ``Chop1Freq``. However, you can access blocks using the name ``IN:LARMOR:CS:SB:Chop1Freq`` with any standard EPICS tool.

# Engin-X Sample Stack

The Engin X Sample Stack is controlled through IBEX but underneath IBEX link back into LabVIEW VIs from SECI hence why there are some special steps you need to use when looking at it. If you can't find the answer you are looking for in this page there is more information in the [developer wiki but beware this is quite low level](https://isiscomputinggroup.github.io/ibex_developers_manual/specific_iocs/motors/EnginX-Sample-Positioner.html).
