回覆: EPICS support for PI E-500 piezo controller

[Chiang, Liang-Chih [江良志] via Tech-talk <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

Thanks Kevin.

I later found out that E-500 is the name of the system.
Its communication interface module is E-518
which is supported by motorPIGCS2 module.

ps. The label "E-518" is not in an obvious place of the E-500 chassis.


Best regards.

主旨: Re: EPICS support for PI E-500 piezo controller

The E-500 isn't in the list of supported controllers, but it still may
be supported by the motorPIGCS2 module:

   https://github.com/epics-motor/motorPIGCS2

The communication interface card might of the E-500 might report a
different version string in response to the "*IDN?" command, which is
what the motor driver queries:

and then uses to determine the controller type:
