Hi Kevin,

Here is the result.
If I caput my virtual motor $(P) by 1 then $(P)-F will fanout to my three real motors.  The three motors move by 1 and their X.Mtr.VAL is at 1.  If I repeat caput by 1 many times to my virtual motor, the three real motor VAL remains at 1.

However when I caput 2 to my virtual motor, the three motors moved to 20.1 mm.

Here is the output, 

[ptran1@xf19id2-ws3 ~]$ caput XF:19IDC-ES-G0{Ymove}Mtr.TPRO 1 

Old : XF:19IDC-ES-G0{Ymove}Mtr.TPRO  0 

New : XF:19IDC-ES-G0{Ymove}Mtr.TPRO  1 

[ptran1@xf19id2-ws3 ~]$ caput XF:19IDC-ES-G0{Ymove}Mtr-F.TPRO 1 

Old : XF:19IDC-ES-G0{Ymove}Mtr-F.TPRO 0 

New : XF:19IDC-ES-G0{Ymove}Mtr-F.TPRO 1 

 

Input 1, caput XF:19IDC-ES-G0{Ymove}Mtr 1, all three real motors moved to 1

Phi,

Are any of the motors (real or soft) doing retries?

How does the $(P)-DMOV record's behavior differ between the 1st relative
move, which succeeds, and the 2nd relative move, which misbehaves?
