Procedures for adding  new motor controller support to motor record

  1. Select a supported controller that most closely matches the characteristics -of the new controller.  If the new controller is simply a different model -of a supported controller family (e.g. Oregon Micro Systems or Newport's Motion -Master), then, of course, chose a model from the controller family that most -closely matches the characteristics of the new controller.  Otherwise, -select a supported controller based on other characteristics, such as; communication -interface (i.e., VME, RS232, GPIB), controller features (e.g., encoder support, -DC servo support, etc.), etc.  In what follows this will be called the - source controller or source device driver.

  3. Chose an appropriate device name for the new controller.  Copy -the relevant files from the selected source controller, to the new, - destination, controller, giving the new files appropriate names -using the new device name.  (See motor_files.html for a list of all -motor record source code files.)

  5. Modify all the new files by cleaning up the obvious header information -(e.g. filename, usage, etc.).  Delete the old Modification Log -entries and add a single new entry that notes which source file you copied -to start this file.

  7. Modify the new driver include file (e.g., drvOms.h, drvMMCom.h, drvIM483.h, -etc.) first.

  9. Modify the device source code file (e.g., devOms.c, devMM4000.c, devIM483.c, -etc.) next.

  11. Modify the driver source code file (e.g., drvOms.c, drvMM4000.c, drvIM483.c, -etc.) next.
