Limitations of the device support

This device support is currently limited to the following devices:

  • MTCA-EVR-300
  • VME-EVG-230
  • VME-EVR-230
  • VME-EVR-230RF

However, it can easily be extended to support additional devices.

For the VME-based devices, only control over the Ethernet interface (via UDP/IP) is currently supported. When using this protocol, the device support cannot detect when a device may have been reset (e.g. switched off and on), so it may present settings that actually are not active in the hardware any longer.

On a more general note, there are a few settings for which it is not possible to read the current value from the hardware (in particular the fine delay set for an output module that supports such a delay). This means that when starting the IOC, the record's value will not represent the actual value used by the hardware.
