Hello motor record maintainers,

further investigation revealed that this problem can also occur without
motor record (cf. the new thread on
http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/tech-talk/2013/msg01898.php). BUT: The
problem with short 1-0-1 transitions could be avoided if the record
using this data is in the same lock set as the motor record. Sure I can
use NPP+FLNK to connect other records to the motor record's DMOV field.
But unfortunately it seems motor record does not trigger its forward
link after setting DMOV to 0. This makes NPP+FLNK pretty useless for
this field...

Is it possible to trigger the forward link when DMOV goes to 0 without
breaking hundreds of other applications?

 From the documentation I was expecting that DLY=1 should stretch the
time of the 1-0-1 transition to 1 second. But that doesn't have any
effect if the motor does not need to be moved. Is this the intended
behavior (the documentation does not cover this special case)?

Any suggestions how to fix my problem?
