Modification Log from R5-4 to R5-5
|
||||
==================================
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
1) Removed the <motor>/motorExApp/Db directory. R3.13.x versions of the motor
|
||||
distribution needed some way to convert *.substitutions files into *.db
|
||||
files, because it could not rely on the synApps version of
|
||||
dbLoadTemplates(). This is not required with R3.14.x since "motor" is
|
||||
able to use the EPICS base version of dbLoadTemplates(). This, in
|
||||
turn, means that all the *.substitutions have been moved to their
|
||||
respective iocBoot directories and loaded directly by
|
||||
dbLoadTemplates().
|
||||
|
||||
2) The motor record would get into an invalid state when it attempted to
|
||||
perform a backlash correction move in the direction of an activated
|
||||
limit switch.
|
||||
|
||||
File modified: - update CDIR in postProcess() in motorRecord.cc
|
||||
|
||||
3) Ported all affected device drivers to R4-1 of asyn.
|
||||
|
||||
Files modified - all serial and/or GPIB based drivers.
|
||||
|
||||
4) Slew acceleration calculations were incorrect. Instead of the correct
|
||||
calculation; A = (Vf - Vo) / t, the record was using A = Vf / t,
|
||||
which is correct only if Vo (VBAS) is zero. Thanks to Harvey Rarback
|
||||
for pointing out this long standing error.
|
||||
|
||||
File modified - motorRecord.cc
|
||||
|
||||
5) Modifications for EPICS R3.14.7 compatibility.
|
||||
|
||||
Files modified - devSoftAux.cc; changes to epicsThread.h required
|
||||
adding an explicit "#include <stdlib.h>".
|
||||
|
||||
6) Modifications for MicroSoft Visual C compiler compatibility. Changed all
|
||||
occurrences of epicsExportAddress(); to extern "C"
|
||||
{epicsExportAddress();}.
|
||||
|
||||
Files modified - most all.
|
||||
|
||||
7) Eliminated calls to devConnectInterrupt() due to C++ problems with devLib.h;
|
||||
i.e. "sorry, not implemented: `tree_list' not supported..." compiler
|
||||
error message.
|
||||
|
||||
Files modified - drvOms.cc, drvOms58.cc and drvMAXv.cc
|
||||
|
||||
8) Omitted iocshRegister() call to resister PIC844Config().
|
||||
|
||||
Files modified - PiRegister.cc
|
||||
|
||||
9) Added MM4006 to the list of controllers supported by the Newport MM4000
|
||||
device driver.
|
||||
|
||||
Files modified - drvMM4000.cc
