Hi,I'm trying to control a rotation stage connected to a Newport Universal Motion Controller / Driver, Model ESP300, connected to a Linux box by a Comtrol DeviceMaster RTS. Is there device support available for this? I have inherited a database and SNL code which runs on a VME box. I believe it uses C calls to open a device file and control the ESP300. I am now trying to move it over to a Linux box, but I'm new to EPICS. I've gone through some of the documentation, and watched some of the introductory talks, but I'm still not quite sure how to do this. My impression is, someone changes a process variable in the MDM screen, and this triggers an appropriate record to be processed. I'm not sure how the SNL comes in however, or what happens when a record is processed. Any help would be very welcome.
Thank you for your time.
