There is a rare condition when SICS has frehsly stared up and on the first call
to a coordinated driving, like in TAS, something fails. Then the group has ID 0,
the default and that one is always active. This has been fixed by starting valid
groups at 7, defining 0 ans IDUNDEFINED and checking in isTaskGroupRunning for
IDUNDEFINED
Then there is an issue in tasdrive. I added a call to CheckStatus when starting the
mono. This is necessary for the eiger monochromator as with that one starting is deferred
to the CheckSttaus function. The reason is that in other use cases, the looser might want
to drive a2 and a2w at the same time. This can only correctly be accomodated by deferring
the caclulations to the CheckStatus phase.
- Extended tasker to support task groups
- Added task functions for motors and counters
- Modifed devexec to use the new task functions
- Modified TAS to treat the monochromator separatly
- Coded a EIGER monochromator module to reflect even more new
requirements
- Added EPICS counters and motors
- Modified multicounter to be better performing
SKIPPED:
psi/eigermono.c
psi/make_gen
psi/makefile_linux
psi/psi.c
psi/sinqhttp.c
- Modifed many modules using histmem to work also with histmemsec
- Extended tasker with task names and task groups
- There is a new taskobj which allows to list tasks and to interact with them.
- Task now supports running Tcl functions as tasks
- There is a new experimental sctcomtask module which allows to define communication
tasks against a scriptcontext. This is a new feature which should facilitate
writing sequential scripts using asynchronous communication.
- A fix to make spss7 work when there are no switches
- ORION support for single X. TRICS measures crystals hanging down, ORION
standing up
