Ok, i see.

But still:
How can i get then information if the motors are running at the moment, or not. Without doing periodic scans on the PACT fields ??

No, only one motor can move at a time.
But i thought it is "bad style" to do this synchronous with such large
delays ? ( I had to define huge timeouts in the protocol to get it
work...)

This rule of not doing synchronous device support for devices with long
delays applies to writing device support.

If you are using StreamDevice (which I assume), your device support is
not synchronous - StreamDevice and ASYN support below are working
asynchronously and take care of the gory details for you.

The port that you are communicating with will be locked while a protocol
(like your move command) is running. But that is fine if the device can
only use one motor at a time.

Cheers,
