Title: Message
Dear Martin,
 
The motor record has "soft motor" device support.  You can give it input and output links (for readback position, drive, stop, etc.).  With a small database that could be used for some simulation.

Subject: Motor Record Simulation

Hi,
 
I was wondering if anybody has considered writing or has written device support for the motor record to simulate a motor. At Diamond a Java user interface is being developed which will talk directly to EPICS motor records. At the moment I've produced a simulation using a combination of EPICS records and SNL code. However, the simulated database and the real database end up being significantly different - which defeats the point of the simulation. A better approach would be to have a simulated device support for the motor record where the type of motor (e.g. steps per rev etc...) can be specified in the st.cmd file.
 
Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated.
