Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System
Hi Andrew,
This has been on my to-do list for some time now. I have an Agilis controller and actuator that Newport sent me because they would like to have an EPICS driver.
I believe that by installing the "Agilis User Tool" software on Windows then one can send the ASCII commands over a COM port. The drvAsynSerialPort driver on Windows should then be able to communicate.
If you don't have that software you can get it here:
ftp://download.newport.com/MotionControl/Current/MotionControllers/Agilis/Software/
I have not tried connecting it to a Linux system to see if a device like /dev/ttyUSB0 appears, but if it does then one should be able to use it on Linux as well.
I will try to play with it this week.
Mark

Subject: Newport Piezo USB Controllers
Has anyone had any luck using Newport Agilis Controllers (USB) with EPICS?
http://www.newport.com/Agilis-Motion-Controllers/848283/1033/info.aspx
Newport only included LabView and Windows DLL's, but I'm really hoping to control them directly through our EPICS system. They run off of ASCII commands which are detailed in the user manual.
I guess using CA Lab is an option, but was hoping to remove LabView entirely from the setup.
Thanks,
Andrew
