Greetings,
I am wondering if anyone can provide any information re an EPICS driver
for a Kepco BOP 50-2D Bi-polar power supply please. The interface is via
ascii SCPI commands over either RS232 or GPIB. We are intending to use
RS232 hooked up to MOXA serial to ethernet converters.
I assume an ASYN based driver is the best way to go? Any details will be
much appreciated.

Hi Mark...
We have Kepco BOP GPIB power supplies that we are talking to using ASYN
and an Agilent Ethernet/GPIB gateway.
We attempted to use Stream Device, but had difficulties with this. So
we used genSub, and wrote C code that parses values into the appropriate
GPIB string and puts them into the .AOUT field of the Asyn record.
Hope that helps...
