Absorber Box (via Beckhoff), Tango

This is how an absorber box is introduced to Online:

<device>
 <name>abs</name>
 <type>stepping_motor</type>
 <module>absbox</module>
 <device>p08/absorber/01</device>
 <control>tango</control>
 <hostname>hasp08:10000</hostname>
</device>

The following figures display how the Tango server has to be setup.

The absorber box can be operated by a BLSC widget (6.3) which is generated by the following lines which are part of /online_dir/TkIrc.pl.

$Spc::res_h{ blsc} = "absbox";
$Spc::res_h{ absbox_title} = { text => "Absorber Box"};
$Spc::res_h{ absbox_m1} = { name => "ABS"};
