Hello all,
I have gone through the documentation you suggested. After understanding most of the coding I am here with some doubts.

asynStatus PXAxis::move(double position, int relative, double minVelocity, double maxVelocity, double acceleration)
{
asynStatus status;
// static const char *functionName = "moveAxis";
sprintf(pC_->outString_, "%s STX P1 %f %f CR", axisName_, maxVelocity/pulsesPerUnit_, position/pulsesPerUnit_);
status = pC_->writeController();
return status;
}
How will I assign value for maxVelocity and position ???
They come from the motorRecord: Max velocity is derived from the VELO field. The position is of course derived from the VAL field.Both records fields are divided by MRES and send to the driver and end up measured steps
in our move() method. (This is probably a bad explanation, hope it helps. And welcome to the EPICS world)
