Re: New Focus Motor support

Also, I learned that the 8743 and the 8753 have different command sets . I discovered this when I actually tried to move motors on the 8753.  

The newfocus8742.asyn.st.cmd.linux-x86  did not work with 8753 (it was sending 8742 type commands) while the st.cmd does.  

Am I overlooking something in configuration?  Can the Model 3 driver work with the 8753?

Hi John,


/motor/modules/motorNewFocus/newFocusApp/src contains 2 drivers:


- An old Model 1 driver in these source code files:

    - devPMNC87xx.cc

    - drvPMNC87xx.cc.

    - drvPMNCCom.h

    - NewFocusRegister.cc

    -  NewFocusRegister.h


- A new Model 3 in these source code files:

    - 874xMotorDriver.cpp

    - 874xMotorDriver.h


newfocus8742.asyn.st.cmd.linux-x86 is for the new Model 3 driver.


st.cmd and PMNC87xx.cmd are for the old Model 1 driver.


Mark

All,

I am using a New Focus motor for the first time. I have an 8752 controller. looking in

motor-R7-1/modules/motorNewFocus/iocs/newFocusIOC/iocBoot/iocNewFocus

I see two IOC start scripts.

st.cmd which loads PMNC87xx.cmd

and

newfocus8742.asyn.st.cmd.linux-x86


The later appears to work for my controller.  What is the other?

Thanks,

John Dobbins
