Description

Hi,

I configured a system as a "gantry follower" to perform identical movements on two different engines, being M1-Leader and M2-Follower.

However, for the synchronized movements to take place, both engines must have the "enable" state active.

Moving the system through the PowerPmac IDE terminal, I need to sequence the commands:
- #1..2j/
- #1j^1000 (for example)

I configured the IOC with the M1 and when executing a motion command (with the 2 motors out of the "enable" state), only the M1 moved.

Is there a way to put the engines in j/ before all movement via EPICS?
