Can you post the entire solution with the other sseq records?  This is actually a rather burning demand for a lot of people who have worries about collisions or are dealing with a mix of very fast and very slow motors.

Hi David,

I do similar things using the sseq record, and calcout records to do checks that everything got to where it should do before progressing the sseq.

If you set WAITN to be ‘Wait’ for each sseq output, and use a CA link, it will do a put_callback and wait for the motor to finish moving. 

I’ve pasted one example below, complete with comments explaining what each record does. It uses other sseq records to actually do the home for each motor, which I’ve not included, but it does show the high level sequencing, as well as the safety checks at each step.

Cheers,
Matt
