Description:
    PM.MAC - Macros to control a pico motor (New Focus, Inc) by RS232 or GPIB
Documentation:
    DESCRIPTION
    This macro file allows to define pico motor as pseudo-motors in SPEC. As this is implemented on the macro level not all commands will work.

    EXAMPLE
    mv pm1 50
    Send 50*(nbsetp/mm) steps to the pico motor controller according to the parameter set in the SPEC configuration
    ascan pm1 0 10 10 1
    (scan pm1 from 0 to 10 in 10 steps and count for 1 second)
    a2scan pm1 0 20 opti -5 5 10 1
    (scan the optical table stepper motor from -5 to 5 degrees and scan at the same time the pm1 from 0 to 20 micr.)


    DEPENDENCIES
    To use a pico motor the following conditions have to be fulfilled:
    • The file pm.mac has to be read in done by: startup s. (this file needs: pseudo.mac , stchanges.mac)
    • the pico motors have to be configured done by: SPECADM (Controller NONE, mnemonic as in startupscript)
    • setup the pico motors (with pmsetup ) done by: startup s.
