F460 EPICS Driver
=================
StreamDevice-based EPICS support for the FMB Oxford F460 four-channel
fast current measurement device.
Requirements
------------
Though it may work on other versions, the driver was tested on these:
1. EPICS base 3.14.12.3 http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/
2. asyn 4-21 http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/modules/soft/asyn/
3. StreamDevice 2.6 http://epics.web.psi.ch/software/streamdevice/
A newer StreamDevice may be required than the NSLS-II Debian package has (as of early 2013).
If included in $(TOP)/StreamDevice, it will be built automatically.
The newer StreamDevice also requires a newer asyn (>= 4-18).
Optional
--------
1. CSS-NSLS2 download: http://cs-studio.sourceforge.net/nsls2/nsls2.html
OPI screens are provided in $TOP/opi for CSS/BOY.
Import these into your css-workspace and set the macros to match the
IOC settings.
Installation
------------
1. Install EPICS
1. If using a Debian-based system (e.g., Ubuntu), use the packages here http://epics.nsls2.bnl.gov/debian/
2. If no packages are available for your distribution, build from source
2. Edit configure/RELEASE
1. Point the directories listed in there to the appropriate places
2. If using the Debian packages, everything can be pointed to /usr/lib/epics
3. Edit iocBoot/iocf460/st.cmd
1. Change the shebang on the top of the script if your architecture is different than linux-x86:
#!../../bin/linux-x86/f460
(check if the environment variable EPICS_HOST_ARCH is set, or perhaps `uname -a`, or
after running `make` see what was built in $TOP/bin)
2. The following line sets the prefix to all of your F460 PVs:
epicsEnvSet("P", "E1:F460:")
Set the second quoted string appropriately according to your facility's naming standards.
3. The following line sets the IP address of the serial device server communicating with the F460:
drvAsynIPPortConfigure("$(PORT)", "10.0.0.11:4001")
Change the 10.0.0.11 to the IP address, and 4001 to the correct port number.
4. Alternatively, if you have the device directly connected to a serial port on the machine,
uncomment and modify the drvAsynSerialPortConfigure and asynSetOption lines to,
match the device's baud rate and other settings:
```
drvAsynSerialPortConfigure("$(PORT)", "/dev/ttyS0")
asynSetOption("$(PORT)", 0, "baud", "115200")
asynSetOption("$(PORT)", 0, "bits", "8")
asynSetOption("$(PORT)", 0, "parity", "none")
asynSetOption("$(PORT)", 0, "stop", "1")
asynSetOption("$(PORT)", 0, "clocal", "Y")
asynSetOption("$(PORT)", 0, "crtscts", "N")
```
4. Go to the top directory and run `make`
5. If all goes well:
```
cd iocBoot/iocf460
chmod +x st.cmd
./st.cmd
```
6. Run Control System Studio and open f460.opi.
