RE: Newport XPS and Motor record

Hi John,

If you translate that error code, -22, using ErrorStringGet in the XPS
Web terminal interface you will get:

0,Error -22 : Not allowed action

So there is something illegal about the request you are making.  Is it
possible that you are exceeding a soft limit, etc.?

Subject: Newport XPS and Motor record

All,

I am using Motor Record R6-4-4 , EPICS R3.14.9, ASYN 4-9 with a Newport
XPS controller. 

When I send a new position to an actuator I get a messages in the IOC
like this:

epics> 2011/06/24 12:35:35.552 SendAndReceive unexpected response
=-22,GroupMoveAbsolute (GROUP2.POSITIONER,12.00003072008),EndOfAPI

otherwise everything seems to be working, i.e. motor responds properly.

Does someone know what this means? The XPS set-up portion of my st.cmd
script is below.

Regards and Thanks,
