The Encoder Entry

An encoder entry allows DCSS to know which DHS has access to the encoder. It does not map an encoder to a real motor. The description of a motor's behavior in relationship to its encoder should be done using a scripted device.

Line 1:encoderName
Line 2:12
Line 3:responsibleDHS externalName

• The responsibleDHS must be the name of a DHS defined in separate entry as discussed in The DHS definition.

• The externalName parameter should probably be the same as the encoderName.

Here is an example of an encoder entry:

detector_z_encoder
12
simDhs detector_z_encoder
