Description

In this presentation, we discuss the control of X-ray deformable (bimorph) mirrors using a high-voltage power supply.
We discuss the issues we had with our original controller and how we solved them using a new power supply.
We developed an asynPortDriver to control the new device. We discuss some of the device's features and the robust communication we have achieved and the effect of this on mirror commissioning.
