Notes

August 2007. Mohan Ramanathan

At this time the module has support for vacuum sensors GP307, GP350, Televac MM200

October 2014: The new Televac controller CC10 has been aded to the Vac Sensor.

For the Ion pumps we have support for PI Digitel 500/1500 and the MPC (Gamma One)

Support for newer devices will be added at a later date.

The generic record “vs” is for the vac sensors. this record and the associated devVanSen supports the following gauges: GP307, GP350, MM200 (Televac) and CC10 (Televac)

The startup file has the following substitution: The database has a field called “TYPE” which has to be set correctly. vs.db has various substitions for startup file.

  If address is 0 then it is RS232 
  For RS485 Address has to be a positive number
	for GP350 has to be between 1 and 31 of the form "AA"
 	for MM200 has to be between 0 and 59 of the form [0..9..A..Z..a..z]
	for CC10 has to be between 0 and F  in HEX
      Also for GP350 the prefix is "#" so we will force for MM200 the same!!
 	  for CC10  the prefix is <STX>  = hex 02

excerpts for an example st.cmd file 

#  For GP307 the STN are irrelavent
#   GP307 expects "\n\r" for EOS for both inputs and outputs.

#  For MM200 the Televac has two cold cathodes and a minimum of 2 convectrons
#	if STN is either 5/6 then the corresponding CV1 are 1/2 and CV2 are 3/4
#	if STN is either 3/4 then the corresponding CV is 1/2 and no CV2
#   MM200 expects "\r" for EOS for both inputs and outputs.

#  Alternative for MM200: specify CV1, CV2, and SPT directly.  If you specify more than
#  one number for STN, the code expects you to specify all four.

#  For Digitel 500/1500 the DEV= D500 or D1500.  The device talks only at 9600 7 E 1
#  Also the  input EOS to device is "\r" while out from device is "\n\r"
#  THE ADDR is irrelvant and STN stands for the no of setpoints from 0-3

#  For Gamma One MPC MPCe also LPC and SPC .  Device supports both RS232 and RS485
#  THE ADDR is addreess of device (both RS232 and RS485
#  STN stands for the no of the pump (MPC can do 2 devices) so 1 for pump1 and 2 for pump 2
#  Then the corrresponding setpoints are odd and even for the respective pumps.
