We need a system whereby the displayed position value of the stage and the desired locations are all specified in microns. Presumably the VIs that handle each device should perform this conversion.
The other VI don't. They mostly return steps. But this is not an issue. It'S just luxury to have the reading in um. The conversion must happen in the motor controller vi itself.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The current version of motion controller MCM5000 for the Bergamo is doing that already.
But are the VIs for the other motor controllers doing so? If not, do we have an compatibility issue? Georg seemed to think we do.
