Salut Ralph,

it looks as if they support ASCII communication:

That would be my favorite,
if you want to use EPICS and the motor module, including motorRecord.

Of ITER's many Diagnostics systems, one plans to use a Zaber linear stage.
Is anyone using Zaber devices?

Zaber has an open-source high-level library (Zaber Motion Library) written in Go with wrappers for a bunch of languages, on top of an ASCII-over-TCP protocol. Any experiences with that?

Thanks for any leads...
