`
`Dear Dave,
`
`Below is a text rendition of some minutes of our review
`
`meeting today. The comments are somewhat brief and the
`formatting is poor, but you should get the idea.
`If you
`want a fax copy let me know. The Spec looks good in the
`sense that it is heading in the right direction. Marc
`McClung appreciated that you reorganized the interfaces to
`better conform to typical motion programming usage. He
`also indicated that some of the particular functions (or
`methods) should be modified somewhat to better reflect how
`a programmer like himself would set up a motion application.
`He suggests that you look at what we did with our Motion
`Toolbox functions to get an idea of what he means.
`
`Marc plans to spend some focussed time very shortly going
`over in detail your proposed function definitions, and then
`providing you with more meaningful feedback. Feel free to
`start the discussion with him over Compuserv as soon as you

`

`Want. .
`
`We have reviewed your request for equipment, and we are happy
`to provide you with these products. For what you are doing,
`I don't think you need the various motor sizes. The controllers
`and drives behave the same regardless of the motor. The
`larger motors are somewhat expensive. We will provide motors
`with encoders. What will make most sense, ithink, is:
`- AT6400 w/ AUX1
`
`- Model 6000 Joystick
`- Motion Architect
`— SX indexer/d rive
`- 2 23 frame size motors
`- encoders for two motors
`- 6000 Demo box
`
`The demo box contains IIO and two motors and drive for use
`
`It will simplify your work in setup.
`with 6000 products.
`The SX indexer/drive uses a different motion language than
`the 6000 controllers. The 6000 joystick is not a catalog
`item but is built by our sister division, Daedal, in Penn.
`I don't know when I can get this all out to you, but it should
`be within a few weeks. Please confirm what address you
`want this stuff shipped to.
`
`Finally, feel free to build a demo for a trade show. We
`would like to see a spec or preview it to make sure we are
`comfortable with how our equipment is being presented, but
`it sounds like a good idea. When you get to that point, we
`can discuss equipment for stages et al. Also, since we have
`given the okay for you to discuss Compumotor's involvement
`with this product, we would like to know what other motion
`vendors you have approached and who has expressed interest.
`This is more out of curiosity than anything else at this point.
`I am particularly interested if these vendors share the vision
`we have discussed.
`
`I will be out of the office next week, but feel free to EMAIL

`ROY-G-BIV Spec 2.0 Meeting Minutes
`
`September 8, 1994 3:30 AM
`
`Major Differences
`Mark happy that they reorganized document along the lines of motion
`
`I.
`
`objects
`
`They decided on a separate 16 bit version and 32 bit version
`They are fully committing to OLE protocol
`We are concerned that we will have a ton of extended interfeces
`
`ll.
`
`Issues
`Should we have more core functions rather than extended?
`
`We review the relationship between the core, ext, and stub
`-
`Are the functions what we want?
`
`lll.
`
`Comments
`
`Pg. 8, Why is the term G-Code used? Is this referring to another vendor
`Code Generation uses our DEF mode?
`
`Our initialization for AT6000 products requires the downloading of the
`operating system
`-
`Could this be done by the Driver Administrated at SPI loading
`We have various error levels and error prompts that need to be cleared
`out periodically of the buffer gets clogged (cf. Mark McClung)
`Pg. 10: Need more tuning than PID
`-
`Drop use of term PID and use term Servo Tuning
`We need a way that the Application can query the Driver Administrator
`so that the Application knows what features are explicitly implemented
`as stub, extended, and core for a given hardware card
`If someone purchases your development kit, do you provide hardware

`
`'drivers for.ariety of companies
`What are you planning to do with the Dadvise data links
`-
`What DDE features are you planning to exploit
`Need clarification on Attach() methods
`-
`Who has to obey these interfaces and at what level
`-
`Shouldn ta developer be able to use any interface as needed?
`-
`Is it like a pipeline functionality
`8.3.3: What are the Ex functions?
`
`.
`
`E.g. lnitializeEx() vs. lnitialize()
`-
`8.3.6: OurATBOOO products allow interrupts to be generated based on
`a variety of events. Do you have ways of bringing this functionality to
`the API level?
`
`8.3.8: Need to set acceleration for joystick
`—
`Instead of SetVeIocityHigh or SetAccelerationHigh, have a
`motion structure defining all motion parameters, and pass the
`pointer to a generic routine like SetMotionHigh
`We have done some things like this in Motion Architect and
`Labview
`
`—
`
`Next step: at Function level we need to give more feedback to help
`refine the function definitions
`
`Mark would like a hand in defining these functions
`8.4.1: What do lfOpen() and lfClose() do?
`Rename lconditional Interface lProgramFlow interface
`- Add gotos
`8.4.2: What does Bit() do?
