Motors on the VAX (vaxmot)

The beamline motors (in particular, the SGM motor) are run by talking to the VAX using TCP/IP sockets. If you have problems with that, log into BNLX1L as micros and do
MICROS-X1L> set def [micros.vaxmot]
MICROS-X1L> show que x1l_batch
Batch queue X1L_BATCH, available, on BNLX1L::
 
  Entry  Jobname         Username             Status
  -----  -------         --------             ------
    587  RUN_VAXMOT_SERVER
                         MICROS               Executing
MICROS-X1L> stop /entry=587 x1l_batch
MICROS-X1L> @start_vaxmot_server
where you should use the number you see, not the number 587 shown in this example. Or if it turns out that the x1l_batch is idle, simply restart the vaxmot server.
