Hi Ernest,
We decided to buy the SDC (step and direction) controller in the end, which we can control directly from our Delta Tau hardware. However we've been having some problems with repeatability, so we might be looking into other options - the MCS RS-232 controller could be a possibility. Let us know how you get on.
Cheers,
Emma
