Peter that sounds great. Can I get some links into the relevant pieces? I'm willing to work on this, and add to the hm2 driver, do some testing and get something going after I finish my man pages. I have a 6i25 and a smart serial IO card in my laser so I can test as I develop. On Mon, Jun 25,

Andy, I will look into this. I believe I had a conversation with Peter a while back about getting a raster into Mesa cards. I plan on pursuing that. Right now I have my servo thread rate jacked up higher on my laser to get a little more detail. A hardware version is a must for an industrial grade

Jeff, You are correct. The hal port operates at a lower level than hal_stream calls. It is a byte stream, untyped and asynchronous in that a write or read from the port can consume up to the buffer size of the port in a single period. So you could build a sampler, or hal stream on top of a hal
