Hi Abdalla,
Ø
In this case do I need to call the controller or axis classes callbacks?
I’m not sure what you are asking. Do you mean in the writeInt32 and readInt32 methods? At the end of writeInt32() you should call pAxis->callParamCallbacks() as is done for the Newport XPS controller here:
https://github.com/epics-motor/motorNewport/blob/9ef83c1c19fab255fe26a770ce978338620ee288/newportApp/src/XPSController.cpp#L297

For the SPMG field, when going from Go to Move the GUI gives me “Controller Error” and the RBV field does not update until it reaches its destination, this is very similar to the original behavior. This also happened when I reverted my updates for read/write
Int32 interfaces.
I just tested two motor drivers that inherit from asynMotorController, the Newport XPS and the Galil. They do not show this behavior: there is no controller error when changing from Go to Move, and the RBV updates fine while a motion
is in progress in Move mode. What do you mean by “this is very similar to the original behavior”? Do you mean before you added the code to call the base class writeInt32()? It seems like your driver may have another issue.
Is your code on Github or elsewhere that I can look at it?

Hello Mark
I called the base class functions and it worked. I have two questions:
1.
In this case do I need to call the controller or axis classes callbacks?
2.
For the SPMG field, when going from Go to Move the GUI gives me “Controller Error” and the RBV field does not update until it reaches its destination, this is very similar
to the original behavior. This also happened when I reverted my updates for read/write Int32 interfaces.
Thanks!
Abdalla.
Thanks Mark. I will test it and get back to you. Out of curiosity why did this happen? why do I have to call the base class functions?
Best Regards
Abdalla.
I suspect the problem is that in your writeInt32 and readInt32 methods you have forgotten that you must call the base class method (asynMotorController::writeInt32 or readInt32)
for any parameters that are not specific to your derived class. That would cause SPMG and STOP not to work.
Here is an example of how to do it:
Hi
Recently we got the chance to control the SMC Taurus rotary stage using the motorMicos motor record module. One of my updates was to read and write limit switches status. The command’s argument is an integer value (0-2), I implemented
readIn32 and writeInt32 interfaces as usual. When moving the motor, after a while the RBV field does not update, STOP and SPMG fields do not work (The motor doesn’t stop), and it the GUI gives me “Controller Error”. When the motor reaches its destination,
the controller error clears and the RBV field is updated accordingly. I tried empty readInt32 and writeInt32 functions with only “return asynSuccess” and the behavior is still there. When I removed those interfaces, the controller works fine. To make those
commands work I moved the writeReadController and writeController functions to the poll thread and the motor works fine, motor stops at command and the RBV field is updated. Any clue on what I have missed?
Thanks!
Abdalla.
