At APS we have used RGAs for over 10 years now.  We had standardized on Spectra 
RGA  which is now owned by MKS.  We have used the RGA under HIDEOS and now with 
MPF.  I am in the process of converting them to support ASYN.  I looked into the 
SRS RGAs and it looks like an easy task to extend the RGA support from the 
Spectra - MKS to SRS also.

We use a custom RGA record for control functionality and a the waveform record 
for the spectrum.

If you are interested contact me.

thanks
