I believe the Bioprecision stage is controlled by the Mac 5000 stage
controller. You can use either ASCI mode or binary to communicate. We
use ASCII mode to communicate with our Unix workstations through a
serial interface. The protocol to move the stage right or left from the
current position is:
MOVREL X = 1000 or MOVREL X =-1000 . Below is a snippet of the
code that we use for our stages:
int n = 0;
struct termio options;
int fd;
// open serial port
if ((fd=open("dev/ttyd2", O_RDWR | O_NOCTTY))==NULL)
{
printf("Error opening /dev/ttyd2\n");
exit(0);
options.c_cflag |= CREAD|CLOCAL;
options.c_cflag |= PARENB;//odd parity
options.c_cflag |= PARODD;
options.c_cflag |= CSTOPB; // 2 stop bits
options.c_cflag &= ~CSIZE;
options.c_cflag |= CS8;
options.c_ospeed=9600; // set baud rate
// send cmd MOVERIGHT
ioctl(fd, TCSETA, &options);
n= write(fd, "MOVREL X=1200\r",14);
if (n<14)
puts (" move right failed");
close(fd);
Hope this helps. If you have more questions please feel free to email me
privately.
