Hi Andy,

I suspect the problem is that you need to edit iocWithAsyn/Makefile and change ARCH to whatever EPICS architecture you are running: win32-x86, windows-x64, etc. You then should do the following in that directory:
make clean
make
That will create the file envPaths for you, using the paths that are correct for your site.

Hi Mark,
Yes, I was modifying the st.cmd.xps in motor/iocBoot/iocWithAsyn.
So I modified *.xps5 and got a long list of errors, I think related to the inability to read envPath. After a quick search in the tech talk list, it seems that this is read from the RELEASE file or setup before compiling. As far as I can tell, all my paths are configured correctly. Do you have any suggestions?
I should also clarify all the packages I am using. I have base 3.14.12.4 and started with synApps 5.7 but had problems compiling some packages. I have asyn 4-25, IPAC 2-12, SEQ 2-1-10, motor 6-8. I believe I experienced several bugs in SEQ 2-1-13 and SEQ 2-1-14 with compiler errors (MS Visual Studio 2008) but 2-1-10 was able to successfully compile. I don't know if there are any issues due to this but figured I should mention this in case there is some incompatibility.

Hi Andy,
> I have modified st.cmd.xps but haven't been able to connect and control the motors.
I assume you mean the st.cmd.xps in the motor/iocBoot/iocWithAsyn directory?
Sorry, there really should be some more documentation there. The files st.cmd.xps, st.cmd.xps3, and st.cmd.xps4 are for the older "model 2" version of the XPS driver. I do not recommend using that, you should use the new "model 3" version of the XPS driver. The example startup script for that is st.cmd.xps5.
If you have troubles with that example then please send the complete output when you try to run the IOC as follows:
iocWithAsyn> ../../bin/linux-x86_64/WithAsyn st.cmd.xps5

Subject: Setting up Newport XPS-C on Windows 7
Good afternoon,
I was hoping to use EPICS to control motors through a Newport XPS-C and receive data from an Andor Zyla detector. I have Windows 7 installed with EPICS 3.14.12.4 and synApps 5.7 (motor6-8) but I have been unable to figure out how to connect to my XPS. I have modified st.cmd.xps but haven't been able to connect and control the motors. Is there some sort of tutorial that I have missed online that would be helpful? Right now I'm just looking to connect and maybe move an XYZ stage before moving onto the more complicated trajectory scans that I see tutorials for online.
Thank you,
Andy
