Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

I’m using a Newport ESP-301 motor controller. Using the motor-6-5 record, I set MRES to the encoder step size in microns (0.019667) and the VAL and RBV values worked in microns. I’ve had to update to motorR6-8. Now VAL and RBV work in millimeters, regardless of MRES. I’m a novice with EPICS; can anyone tell me whether there is a problem with motorR6-8 or whether I am missing something simple?
