    Modifications to Existing Features

    + +
    +

    + Newport PM500 Initialization Problem +

    +

    + The PM500 driver was not issuing the correct command when it queried for the + number of axes at boot up. This resulted in a "PM500 system error" message on + the 1st axis. +

    +

    + Overwritten PID Parameters +

    +

    + A bug was introduced with R6-0; the OMS device support was overwriting PID + parameter fields during its' normalization calculation. +

    +

    + Motor Position Initialization +

    +

    + There was a bug in the logic that determines the precedence between using the + controller's or save/restore's motor position at boot-up. Negative controller + positions were not handled correctly. +

    + Newport Build Problem +

    +

    + Due to releasing R6-1 during Newport development, R6-1 can result in linker + errors on the symbol "xpsgathering". Newport users should upgrade to R6-2. +
