Hi Kevin,
smarAct does not support the EPICS driver, they did however mention the community-developed drivers that can be found on github. I had a look into this one: https://github.com/epics-motor/motorSmarAct/blob/master/smarActApp/src/smarActMCS2MotorDriver.cpp and found the variable theoryPosition that reads :CHAN%d:POS:TARG
Is that the required command to query a motor without an encoder? Then I could try to build a new IOC based on this package.
Thanks,
Juliane
