Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

Hi Matt,

We are using the MVME6100 with VxWorks 5.5.1 and Tornado 2.2.1 for the
wavefront controller host CPU in our AO systems. We have not had any
problems. The host is the EPICS IOC for the wavefront controller
real-time CPU and also performs some real-time processing to support
telemetry and relaying of real-time tip-tilt data (from the STRAP APD
sensor) to the wavefront controller.
