Introduction

   Here are some note on using the Newport ESP300 Controller with the CMA-12CCCL actuators.

   Range of travel is 0.00000 to 12.50000 mm.
   Velocity range is 0.05000 to 0.40000 mm/s ( we will used default high speed of  ~0.20000)
   Acceleration / Deceration is set to 0.80000m/s^2 (this is the default value).

0. Controling using the front panels.

   1. Enable motor using button near the LED panels. (MTR should be set to ON).
   2. Use HOME button to home unit.
   3. Use JOG button to position motor.

1. To telnet to EPS300 controller. Telnet to portserver/port ID. For example,

   telnet smokey_esp300 2007

   Use the 'VE' command to have the controller return the firmware version.

   VE
   ESP300 Version 3.04

   Axis command have the general format  ${axis}${command}${parameter}, for example
   to set axis 1 velocity to 50, the format would be: 1VE50

2. Example of status commands.

   ID - get stage model and serial number. This example queries axis1:
      1ID
      CMA-12CCCL, SN012497

   MD - read motion done status (0=not done; 1=done).
      1MD
      1

  TP - read actual positon
      1TP
      0.00000

  TV - read actual velocity
      1TV
      0.217285

3. Controlling the Motor.

   MO - turn motor power on
      1MO

   MF - turn motor power off
      1MF

   OR - Orgin search (search for HOME and position at step 0.00000). Use MD to
        tell you when OR is done.
      1OR

   PA - position absolute
      1PA5.12345

   ST - stop motion.
      1ST
