Hi Matt (and Matt),

 

First I want to start by apologising for missing/not being aware of the pull request from Matt Newville. I have just looked at it and it seems we are going in basically the same direction (eliminating a lot of the crap from the data files), except Matt has made quite a few changes to an example IOC which is auto-generated so if we need to keep this we will have to move it somewhere else or else it will be trodden on by the next time we auto-generate the code.

The auto-generation has been essential up until now because otherwise there is been no practical way to easily write IOC’s for Xspress3’s with differing numbers of channels. I hope to change this.

So, in answer to Matt Moore, the driver still needs work, but we want to fix it. Most of the changes are on GitHub, either in Matt Newvilles area (https://github.com/newville/xspress3) or Adam Bark’s (https://github.com/AdamBark/xspress3). We need to work on a merge of all these.
