Move Sequencing Simple sequence: Backlash correction, queue two moves to the controller. Complex sequence: Use EPICS state notation language (SNL). Examples: Calibration procedures: 1. Use a limit switch. 2. Locate home/index pulse. 3. Beam based calibration.

Move Synchronization Simple synchronization: Slit control on linac - write to gap or centering causes 2 slit jaws to reposition. Complex synchronization: Define point of rotation for pitch, roll and yaw of a mirror move motors as required. Uses a sub record. Use EPICS state notation language (SNL). Example: setting energy of SM beam line -> set monochrometer grating and mirror -> set epu gap and girders using polarization and angle -> set girder taper using gap and polarization

Flip Coil Bench VME58 motor driver was written for the flip coil bench. Uses SNL for both synchronization and sequential movement of stages to move the flip coil

In the future Hardware: VME58-4E >> MAXv Oregon Microsystems CLS Motor Controller >> no new installations Evaluation of servo motors Software: Synchronization of motors using controller capabilities. Use interrupts from VME58 for move completion (done bit). Ongoing evaluation of synApps
