Thorlabs MDT693/4 without MDT695

[Reinier van Mourik via Tech-talk <tech-talk@aps.anl.gov>]

Hi all,

We have some Thorlabs MDT693B (1-axis) and MDT694B (3-axis) motor controllers that I thought I’d be able control with the motorThorLabs module. It turns out that that module only works for the older “A” models (MDT693A and MDT694A) via the MDT695 motion controller card, whereas the newer “B” controllers plug in directly to a computer.

Does anybody know if it’s possible to modify the motorThorLabs module to work with the MDT693B and MDT694B controllers?
