Setup Phantom Motor

Here is doc that shows a simple way to setup a Phantom motor that you can use as a Master for other motors. It does not require any real hardware since it is all virtual. This is useful for example when you need a real motor to be able to run with a motion program but also easily have it release from the CS Motion program and perhaps Jog off somewhere, and maybe later connect again with a still running CS motion program.

12/1/10 updated the document -now 2 sections showing setting up of Phantom or Virtual motors 1. Setup group of Virtual motors on system for testing 2. Setup a single "Phantom" motor to work in a system alongside of real motors. Both are similar but can make it easier to implement depending on your need for virtual motors. The first section includes example from another post by Richard showing code to setup 8 virtual motors on a Brick.
