Subject: Galil Motor Tutorial?

A project here has purchased some Galil motors to run some high-power RF attenuators and phase shifters.  The information I’ve been given on the controller configuration is:
Controller : DMC30017 with 2PB option (2 phase brushless drive).
       FW : DMC30010 Rev 1.2c
       HN : DMC30017
      IOB : rev 0, LSNK
      AMP : rev 0, 2PB
      MCB : rev 4, SPI flash

Configuration:

 DHCP disabled           : DH0
 IP fixed                : IA 192,168,24,25
 Stepper mode            : MT -2
 Motor current = 1.5A    : AG 1
 Quadrature encoder      : CE 4   (CE 0 when in 2PB mode)
 Limits active low       : CN 1,1,-1,0,0,0

I have downloaded the support module from http://motorapp.github.io/Galil-3-0/ and built it.   But when I had a look at the example application provided therein my reaction was “egad”.  Trajectories, coordinated motion, and even multiple IP addresses in the startup script.  But not even a README AFAICT.
The application is pretty simple — a handful of individual motor records would be fine.  
Can someone out there in EPICS-land point me in the direction of a simpler example or at least some hints on how this controller is to be used?

Thanks,
