	Martin,

We are using version 5.3 of the motor record with an external readback link and see
the same behavior of MSTA.

	Subject: Motor Record Status Field
	
	
	Hi, 
	 
	Bit 11 of the MSTA field of the motor record is a MOVING state, which is true when the motor has a non-zero velocity. Does anybody know if this bit actually works? I'm currently using version 4.6 of the motor record to drive a stepper motor with an encoder, and this field always remains false. Having looked at the code (version 4.6 and version 4.8) it doesn't appear to get set anywhere.
	 
	Many thanks,
