Soft motor is not what you want to use.  It is not a simulated motor, it is a way of making a "pseudo-motor", which typically coordinates the motion of several real motors or other devices.
 
There is a simulated motor, which is in the MotorSimSrc directory.  That is what you should use for getting familiar with the motor record without real hardware.

I would like to learn how to use a motor record.  To start my education I thought it might be useful to create a soft IOC using the SoftMotor device support.  Can someone point me where I can find an example of such IOC?  I have downloaded motorR6-3.tar.gz.  I configured it and built it with motor and SoftMotor support only.  Is that enough?

Thanks in advance,
Zen
