Re: EPICS support for PI E-500 piezo controller

[Kevin Peterson via Tech-talk <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

The E-500 isn't in the list of supported controllers, but it still may 
be supported by the motorPIGCS2 module:

  https://github.com/epics-motor/motorPIGCS2

The communication interface card might of the E-500 might report a 
different version string in response to the "*IDN?" command, which is 
what the motor driver queries:

and then uses to determine the controller type:
