Hi Kurt,
Yes, I had seen that. From what I can glean from Micos' web site, I
suspect that it is not a "Venus-2" device. If it is, it would be great.
I'll check with Micos and get back to you.
Thanks,
David

We have just received a rotation table from Micos GmbH for a trial
period. It has an RS-232-C interface talking what they call "Venus-2
protocol".
Simple command/response communication via Dirk Zimok's stream driver
works fine and we can get it to move and report its position. Has
anyone in the EPICS community perhaps tackled a more thorough
integration, in particular, into the APS motor record package?
Thanks in advance for any tips.
David

David,
There is motor record device support for the Micos MoCo series DC motor
controllers

in synApps 5.0 and above. I can send you the source code for earlier
versions if needed.
