Hi Elliott,<br>
We'll only ever do 1 axis at a time, but in principle it can do all
simultaneously. All the stuff you mention is taken care of in the
controller but the parameters (eg velocity, accel etc can be set to
required values by the user.<br>
<br>
I believe there is an EPICS driver for this box too. Hall-D already
have an XPS-C8.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

Hi Ken,<br>
<br>
Concerning the Ethernet-based XPS-C6 controller, do you know if
all you have to do is tell the controller to go to some 6-axis
position, or do you have to direct the controller to get there
axis-by-axis, or must you do something even more complicated (e.g.
start motor, speed up, slow down, brake, stop, check where you
are, repeat, check for overshoot, back up, etc)?<br>
<br>
Our preference of course is to simply use a single command to tell
it where to go and not worry how it gets there.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
