Re: MAXv Multi-Axis Motion Controller in use?

[Kurt Goetze <goetze@aps.anl.gov>]

Hi Martin,

We have recently installed several MAXv cards into the sector 30 beamline
here at the APS.  In one crate there is a mix of VME58 and MAXv boards.
In another there are only MAXv boards (6).  In all cases the channels 
are set
up to run steppers, with several channels having encoder support enabled.
It is nice to be able to select encoder support on a channel by channel 
basis,
with a small change to a setup line in the boot file.  So far the MAXv 
boards
are performing well, and we are planning to add them to other beamlines as
needed.  We are running EPICS 3.14.7/synApps_5.1.1.
