Hi Pete,

We have support for the TSP function in the MPC using RS232.

It is included in the "ip" application in recent versions of the
"synApps" package.
http://www.aps.anl.gov/aod/bcda/synApps/ip/ip.html

The R2-4 release for EPICS 3.14.7, which uses "asyn 4-1" is available
now.

The R2-5 release for EPICS 3.14.7, which uses "asyn 4-2-1" will be
available next week.

Note that the required modules lists "ipac", but that is only if you
want to use the SBS IP-Octal serial module.  These releases will work
with any serial port that asyn supports, which includes local serial
ports on vxWorks, Windows, Linux and Unix, and TCP/IP terminal servers
on all platforms.

Subject: Digitel MPC - TSP - RS232 Interface

Has anyone out there used the Digitel MPC RS232 interface 
to control the TSP functionality? 
I have no problem with any of the ion pump commands, 
but confusing things are happening when I try to 
control the TSP - and in particular set it to timed mode. 
(hex command 27)
