Subject: fanout is not working

Hi,

I have created a virtual motor and can successfully use the `caput` and `caget` commands to set and read its value, respectively. However, my `dfanout` record is not moving the motors with relative motions as expected. I have confirmed that the motors respond correctly when I use `caput` to directly interact with the fields in `dfanout`.

record(motor, "$(P)"){
      field(DTYP, "Soft Channel")
      field(DESC, "Move Y,ib,ob,ds mtrs")

      # Where to write the setpoint to
      # Output to upstream, inboard and outboard motors
      field(OUT, "$(P)-F PP MS")
      field(PREC,"7")
....}

#Move Y motors ib,ob,ds in same direction
record(dfanout, "$(P)-F") {
    field(DESC, "move ib,ob,ds MTR")
    field(OUTA, "$(OUTBOARDMTR).TWF PP MS")
    field(OUTB, "$(INBOARDMTR).TWF PP MS")
    field(OUTC, "$(DOWNSTREAMMTR).TWF PP MS")
    field(PREC, "7")

Please advice.
Thank you,
Phi
