Hi Ulrik,

Just to confirm, I was referring to the QI NPS3*** controller mentioned
in your original post.  I have sent you the code.

Best,
Kurt

Hello,

Mark, the AX301 is a different controller from Queensgate - an older
model I think. I've got the manuals for both controllers and the
communication protocols are unfortunately not related so I won't be able
to use the pzt.db stuff.

Kurt, if your code is for the NPS series controller then I'd be very
interested in having a closer look at it. The controller uses a funny
checksum calculation so I was already thinking about using SNL like you
have (instead of streamDevice).

Thanks,
Ulrik

Hi Ulrik,

I wrote a simple, non- motor record application for this.  At the time
they (APS sec.3) just wanted to run one channel and were only able to
lend me the hardware for a short time.  So, what we ended up with is a
simple snl and database solution that met their needs, but not really
what I would consider complete device support.  You're welcome to what
we have, though.  If you are interested I will send it to you.

Hello,

Does anyone have EPICS support for the Queensgate piezo controller with the RS232 interface?

The three models in the NPS3*** series are NPS3110 NPS3220 and NPS3330

(the only difference seems to be the number of channels).

A quick Google search for "EPICS Queensgate" results in this note from

December 04 from APS: "Completed work on EPICS support for the Queensgate NPS3330 piezo driver." I just don't know who wrote it but it's the same controller I have here so I'd be very interested to hear

the details...

Cheers,
Ulrik
