Feature Description

As an IMAT instrument scientist/user, I would like to control my camera box.

Explanation

It is a single axis of motion for a box containing a camera.

Additional Information

@rerpha has had the following from the control box manufacturer:

The MCC-1 does not have EPICS support. This was created by third parties. Additionally, the MCC-1 does not use the same command set but does have a similar command structure if checksum is activated. If you wish to adapt the project by modifying the commands, I can provide you with the command manuals and explain the differences.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Camera box can be controlled from within IBEX

I have advised the relevant GL that as this does not use one of the motion controller we already support, it may be some time until we are able to look at this ticket.

The latest plan is to make use of a spare Galil channel to control the stepper motor and bypass the control box the device comes with completely.
