Success!

I configured the Acromag XT1541 DAC to run with EPICS. This was a touch trickier than the ADC as there is a subtlety with the channel configuration in the EPICS database. The bottom line is that now I can change the value in an EPICS channel and a multimeter attached to the unit will show a corresponding change in voltage.

The attached files (ioctest2.cmd and IOCTEST2.db) are used to access the first output channel, OUT00, on the unit. Now that I've got the thing working I can debug the calibration. Once that's sorted I'll summarize the set-up procedure on a Wiki page with glorious detail for future reference.

The following command line is used to open the modbus EPICS server.

${EPICS_MODULES}/modbus/bin/${EPICS_HOST_ARCH}/modbusApp ioctest2.cmd

The ioctest1 files are for the ADC unit.
