support for LXI devices (Bustec ProDAQ 6150 specifically)

["Evans, Richard K. \(GRC-H000\) via Tech-talk" <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

Hello,

Is anyone currently using LXI devices from a company called Bustec?

We are interested in using Bustec's ProDAQ 6150 (a 48-channel thermocouple measurement device) [1]. I checked the EPICS hardware support database and the Tech-Talk archives, but I couldn't find any mention of Bustec.

Since the ProDAQ 6150 is an LXI device, I know it can be interfaced with third-party software like EPICS. Before I attempt to develop support for it from scratch, I wanted to check here to see if anyone has already written something or has advice on the best approach (e.g., using asyn/StreamDevice) for Bustec specifically - or LXI devices in general.

For context, the device communication details are in section 6.3 (page 55) of the User Manual [1], which provides a few C code snippets demonstrating how to communicate with the device using their drivers.

Any advice or pointers would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Rich
