Hello Wesley,

I am not sure this answers your question, but...

The motor record has a SET field which can have values; 0:"Use" or 1:"Set".
When the SET field is in the "Use" mode and user enters a new position, the motor moves to that position.

If the SET field is in the "Set" mode and the user enters a new position the motor record redefines the
current target positions (VAL/DVAL/RVAL) and the feedback positions (RBV/DRBV/RRBV) to the new
value; i.e., it "sets" both the target and feedback positions to the new value.

Hope this helps,
Ron

The motors that are an issue have no encoders or limit switches, so
nothing for me to reference.  Does anyone have a slick solution for
"restoring" a motor's RBV?  Perhaps, something like setting the offset to
the last RBV after a reboot or crash.

Thanks for your time.

Wesley
