Re: Controling a slit system with 2 hard and 4 soft motorrs

["Mooney, Tim M." <mooney@aps.anl.gov>]

There is also, in the optics module, 2slit_soft.vdb, which uses soft motor records, instead of ao records, for center and width.

Hi Torsten,

The synApps optics module has support for this type of thing:

Hej motorists,

I recently learned about the transform record, which can be used to control a slit with 2 physical axes in the way that you can set the values for GAP and CENTER and the position of the physical blades are calculated. (Or vice versa)

Does anybody have a super-duper-luxus template file which uses 4 soft motors together with some calc and transform records ?

Thanks in advance
