### Usage in IOC shell
turboPmac exposes the following IOC shell functions (all in turboPmacController.cpp):
turboPmac exports the following IOC shell functions:
- `turboPmacController`: Create a new controller object.
- `turboPmacAxis`: Create a new axis object.
These functions are parametrized as follows:
The full mcu.cmd file looks like this:
```
turboPmacController(
"$(NAME)", # Name of the MCU, e.g. mcu1. This parameter should be provided by an environment variable.
"$(ASYN_PORT)", # IP-Port of the MCU. This parameter should be provided by an environment variable.
8, # Maximum number of axes
0.05, # Busy poll period in seconds
1, # Idle poll period in seconds
0.05 # Communication timeout in seconds
);
```
```
turboPmacAxis(
"$(NAME)", # Name of the associated MCU, e.g. mcu1. This parameter should be provided by an environment variable.
1 # Index of the axis.
);
# Define the name of the controller and the corresponding port
epicsEnvSet("NAME","mcu")
epicsEnvSet("ASYN_PORT","p$(NAME)")
# Create the TCP/IP socket used to talk with the controller. The socket can be adressed from within the IOC shell via the port name
drvAsynIPPortConfigure("$(ASYN_PORT)","172.28.101.24:1025")
# Create the controller object with the defined name and connect it to the socket via the port name.
# The other parameters are as follows:
# 8: Maximum number of axes
# 0.05: Busy poll period in seconds
# 1: Idle poll period in seconds
# 1: Socket communication timeout in seconds
turboPmacController("$(NAME)", "$(ASYN_PORT)", 8, 0.05, 1, 1);
# Define some axes for the specified MCU at the given slot (1, 2 and 5). No slot may be used twice!
turboPmacAxis("$(NAME)",1);
turboPmacAxis("$(NAME)",2);
turboPmacAxis("$(NAME)",5);
# Set the number of subsequent timeouts
setMaxSubsequentTimeouts("$(NAME)", 20);
# Configure the timeout frequency watchdog:
setThresholdComTimeout("$(NAME)", 100, 1);
# Parametrize the EPICS record database with the substitution file named after the MCU.
