Modified devices

Ticket Type Device Change
#8160 minor Beckhoff/TwinCAT Allow 2 instances of the TC IOC, for portable beckhoffs
#8104 minor PACE5000 Various PACE5000 snags - set units to bar, slew mode to lin, display source pressure, fix vent status
#8218 minor GALIL allow COM in GALILADDR macro
#7677 minor Tektronix AFG3XXX Channel 1 and 2 are configurable in IOC macros, by default both are enabled just like so far.
#8248 minor Lakeshore 340 Lakeshore no longer sets excitiation threshold with potentially invalid values on startup.
#6854 major Beckhoff/TwinCAT Remove old CRISP course jaw tcioc motor record code
#8175 minor needlevalve Add macro to govern wriet mode toggle.
#8262 minor Keithley 2400 Add input fields for compliance voltage and current.
#8284 minor McLennan Add macro to set access group of JVEL, HLM, LLM to allow setting of those fields without restart of IOC
#8322 minor HVCAEN Fix issue with write records not getting created
#7778 minor Muon zerofield, Kepco performance improvements to fix MUSR zerofiel issues
#8253 minor McLennan Make paramters last a powercycle. Parameters are now saved on homing of device
#8335 minor Beckhoff/TwinCAT Fix issue with table of motors advanced view with energised icon not working
#8137 major ALDN1000 The IOC now supports daisy chained devices which means the same IOC can control multiple devices on the same COM port. The PVs now carry extra information which is the number of the pump (1-4). Their IDs can be changed in the IOC config but PVs will always reference then from 1-4.
#8353 major Tektronix DMM4040/4050 Multimeters Remove now-obselete (as of #6211) LVDCOM support modules for Tektronix DMM4040/4050 Multimeters
#8357 minor CAENV895 Allow configurable number of crates + cards per IOC
#8341 minor TPG300 Allow setting the alarm severity of underrange pressure channels via IOC macro
#8379 minor ZFMAGFLD Allow automatic scanning of inputs, add second IOC
#7618 minor Beckhoff/TwinCAT Fix issue with TC creating huge log files on disconnect
#8342 minor Danfysik PSU Added Current PV to alarm tree
#7319 minor Beckhoff/TwinCAT Fix issue with TC overwriting autosave values if beckhoff cannot be reached on startup
#8461 major Stanford Research SR400/PS350 Remove old LVDCOM (labview) IOCs for the SR400 photon counter and PS350 power supplies
7755da0 major Rotbench Remove old ROTBENCH IOC

Reflectometry IOC

Ticket Type Change
#4631 Minor Prevent tracked moves that will clash against soft limits for motors - warn in error log
#8063 minor Add a way to apply an engineering correction to a directparameter (ie. INTER's DET_BENCH_ANGLE)
#8218 minor GALIL: allow COM in GALILADDR macro
#8227 minor Fix string constants not being displayed properly in the constants tab
#8225 Minor Revert #5607 (Set velocity on all axes before moving, which should help with synchronised moves)
#7533 Minor Add FOM in beam to SURF front panel

IBEX Client

Configurations

Ticket Type Change
#7642 Major Added the abillity to set blocks on config change.
#8346 Minor The table of IOCs and table of Blocks displayed when viewing/editing a config now displays which component an IOC or Block is added by.

Known issue - date in wrong format in dashboard

There is an issue with the date in the dashboard of the IBEX client in which it is displayed in mm/dd/yy format rather than dd/mm/yy. The fix for this will be in the next release, but if you would like it deployed to your instrument please let us know.

Change Types:

  • Major - Backward compatible breaking change
  • Minor - Change in API/functionality
  • Patch - Bug fix no change in functionality
