Apologies, sent the first message before attaching the below examples:

First, the standard *IDN? command gets us L\\xba%,s\\x8aEj\\x9b1:i\\xbb2&\\xd3b1&\\xa3\\ as a response

Subject: Configuring serial communication with Lakeshore 331 via Moxa
 
Hi all,

I've been working to get an IOC up and running for a lakeshore 331 TC we have here at NSLS2, using the support for it I found in the ip module on github: https://github.com/epics-modules/ip/blob/master/ipApp/Db/LakeShore331.db

To start, I have the IOC just creating the asyn port pointing at the TCP Server on the appropriate port on the moxa, and I load the asynRecord database, so I can test sending/receiving commands using the asynOctet interface. I configured the serial connection on the moxa, asyn, and the device to 9600 baud, 8 data bits, and one stop bit, and I can see that I am communicating with the device on some level, however, the responses I am seeing don't seem correct; they are full for unexpected characters, and don't match the format listed in the manual. I am guessing there is still something I missed in the configuration of the serial connection.

Current IOC startup:

[jwlodek@xf06bm-ioc2 ioclakeshore331]$ more st.cmd
#!../../bin/linux-x86_64/lakeshore331

epicsEnvSet("SYS", "XF:06BMB-CT")
epicsEnvSet("IOC_P", "$(SYS){IOC:LS1}")
epicsEnvSet("PREFIX", "XF:06BM-")

< envPaths

cd ${TOP}

## Register all support components
dbLoadDatabase("$(TOP)/dbd/lakeshore331.dbd",0,0)
lakeshore331_registerRecordDeviceDriver(pdbbase)


drvAsynIPPortConfigure("LAKE1", "SOMEIP:SOMEPORT")
asynOctetSetOutputEos("LAKE1", 0, "\r\n")
#asynOctetSetInputEos("LAKE1", 0, "\r\x8a")

asynSetOption("LAKE1", -1, "baud", "9600")
asynSetOption("LAKE1", -1, "bits", "8")
asynSetOption("LAKE1", -1, "parity", "odd")
asynSetOption("LAKE1", -1, "stop", "1")

dbLoadRecords("$(EPICS_BASE)/db/asynRecord.db", "P=$(PREFIX), R=LS331:01:serial, PORT=LAKE1, ADDR=0, OMAX=0, IMAX=0")

var streamDebug 2

iocInit()


Also, while every command I send gets some (different) response, I seem to get a timeout error for the asynOctet interface, indicating something is not quite right:


Has someone configured such a device that has run into a similar issue? Or alternatively, does anyone know what could the cause be?

Thanks for the help!
Jakub
