To better communicate this problem to the user, several medm displays
have been changed. Small displays (motorx_tiny.adl, motorx.adl) will
show a yellow border around their position readback values. Larger
displays (motorx_more.adl, motorx_all.adl) will display the message
"Controller Error" in yellow. The following error message at the

9) Added error check for valid acceleration rate on STOP command to OMS device
support. This prevent "command error" messages when VBAS = VELO and a
support. This prevents "command error" messages when VBAS = VELO and a
STOP command is issued.

10) There is a problem with initiating a home search with the Aerotech Ensemble
motor controller with EPICS. The problem is that the EPICS Ensemble
driver uses Aerotech's ASCII communication protocol and that protocol
blocks all communication on ASCII communication ports during a home
search. Consequently, once a home search is started from EPICS, it is
unable to stop it.
With this release, the home search function is commented out of the
Ensemble driver. Users that need to perform a home search should do it
from Aerotech's IDE software, which can abort a home search.
File modified: AerotechSrc/drvEnsembleAsyn.cc
11) Since the Ensemble network connection requires period communication from
the host to prevent the Ensemble from closing the network socket, the
Ensemble support based on the old device driver architecture (phase 1)
was removed with this release. The asyn motor architecture supports
continuous, periodic updates; the old architecture does not.

12) A reboot error check was added to the OMS VME58 device driver. When the
reboot error check detects that a VME58 board has rebooted since the
last power-cycle or VME SysReset, and no longer has valid motor
positions, the controller is disabled and is no longer available to
EPICS until after the VME crate has been rebooted. Other VME58
boards in the system are unaffected by this scenario. The following
error message is sent to the IOC error log;
***VME58 card #0 Disabled*** Reboot Detected.
