Hi, Matt.

Right, and in fact, that's the method I use.  But I don't do it via the
motor record since we use the tpmac assembly/axis/drive/motor interface.
 I kill all motors in an assembly, set the position of those motors, and
then close the control loop again.  But still, it doesn't seem like this
method is really endorsed by Delta Tau, but maybe I'm wrong.
