Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

Greetings EPICS Experts,

 

I’m currently trying to use pmacAsynCoord with the power pmac (pmac-2-5-20 from https://github.com/dls-controls/pmac), which I’ve used successfully on the turbo many times.  When calling pmacAsynCoordCreate() I get a spew of errors of the form:

 

2023/08/16 08:45:37.298 drvPmacAxisGetStatus: not all status values returned. Status: 0

Command :&2??

Response:

$0000780000060001

$0000780000060001

 

This is the same output as I get from the controller.  I’m not so experienced with the Power version and am wondering if I may just be missing some pmac setting or if there is something else I may be misconfiguring.  Any advice is much appreciated.  My st.cmd is below.

 

Best Regards,

 

-Dean Hidas
