Hi EPICS community,
I'm working on a x-ray scanner using EPICS and the TPMAC synApps module for motion control. We have a sample stage with coarse XYZ, coarse theta, and fine XY. I quickly discovered that the .db files I received
with the TPMAC module limit the assembly to X, XY, or XYZ axes. My preference would be to combine all 6 motors in a single coordinate system, and then define some virtual axes (e.g., X, Y, theta) for coordinated motion during scanning. Thus, we need all of
the motors in the same assembly or coordinate system.
I tried to expand the .db files that come with TPMAC to include more axes (e.g., XYZT), but quickly ran into the limitation that some records do not have enough fields to handle additional axes. I could hack
on this some more by using fanout records. However, I'd like to know first if anybody out there has already handled this problem and is willing to share their solution with the EPICS community.
Thanks,
Jay Steele
