Thank you Torsten and Mark,

these templates seem pretty close to what I wanted. I had never looked into the transform record, but it looks quite interesting. I am still trying to decode the entire template, but I didn't see any type of protection to avoid the slit arms from overlapping? I imagine I could probably implement it in the CLC_ expressions. We currently have two approaches:

- use a calc to set up a mask and then use this mask to trigger the move commands in a particular order: used mostly in asymmetrical devices with different arms for each direction

- use calcs to limit the gap/center motion, but it was quite annoying to have the set points update when an arm reaches a limit switch (that was before I had learned about the transform record)

Also, I assume the limit switch indicators don't really work on the virtual motors, correct? The motor record already contains so many fields, but I wonder if it would be helpful to have an INLINK to set these limits (whether the RHLS/RLLS or LLS/HLS, I am not sure).
