<h4><u>Modifications to Existing Features</u></h4>

<U><B>Soft Motor allocation limit</B></U>
</P>
<P>
Peter Denison (Diamond Light Source) enhanced the Soft Channel device support by
eliminating the 50 soft motor limit and replacing it with an unlimited linked list.

<P>
<U><B>All motors done/stop/moving utility</B></U>
</P>
<P>
Kevin Peterson's (UNI-CAT) motorUtil task was added to the motor record
distribution. The motorUtil task monitors and maintains 3 PV's; $(P)alldone, $(P)allstop,
$(P)moving. motorUtil is a replacement for the all_com_##.db distributed with
the STD support module. See the motorUtil.db file for details.
</P>
<P>
<U><B>Asyn Motor</B></U>
</P>
<P>
Peter Denison (Diamond), Nick Rees (Diamond) and Mark Rivers (APS) have added a
new motor record device support architecture based on ASYN; called "asyn motor"
support. The asyn motor support <I>is an attempt to define a clean, extensible
API for motor controller drivers to support</I>. This is a preliminary release
of work in progress. Do not use <I>asynMotor</I> device support at this time, except
for development and testing purposes only.

<P>
<U><B>New Focus 8750 Network Controller</B></U>
</P>
<P>
Joe Sullivan added support for the New Focus Model 8750 Network Controller.
</P>
<P>
<U><B>Physik Instrumente (PI) E-662 piezo controller</B></U>
</P>
<P>
Joe Sullivan added support for the Physik Instrumente (PI) GmbH & Co. Model E-662
piezo controller.
</P>
<P>
<U><B>Newport XPS-C8 asyn motor support</B></U>
</P>
<P>
Mark Rivers added asyn motor support for the Newport XPS-C8 motor controller.
This is a preliminary release of work in progress. However, it has fewer
problems than the previous XPS support, so we recommend using the new asyn
support for the XPS, with the understanding that it is still under development.
</P>
<P>
<U><B>Trajectory Scanning</B></U>
</P>
<P>
Mark Rivers added the Trajectory Scanning software for both the Newport MM4005
and XPS-C8 motor controllers to the motor record distribution.
</P>
<P>
<U><B>OMS PC68 and PC78 support</B></U>
</P>
<P>
Brian Tieman and Ron Sluiter added support for the standalone, RS-232 versions
of the OMS PC68 and PC78 model controllers. The same device driver (OMS PC68/78)
supports both models.
