Dear Rory
	I do not have this type of RGA, but a quick check of the documentation claims it has a ‘documented ASCII command-line API’.

Sounds like one could use the serial communication Stream Class module (which is on top of ASYN) to talk to it over TCP/IP, if you can get that document from the vendor.

I understand that Microvision 2 units have been connected to EPICS at Diamond directly through their Ethernet without using a PC running MKS’s Process Eye.  Any help with this would be appreciated.
