If you have a (old) hutch python (XPP/XCS), add the motor to the epicsArch file. A motor python object will be instantiated upon restart. This motor object has a function called "<motor>.auto_setup" which will initialize the motor, clear the power cycle and check for a configuration based on matching the motor controllers serial ID in the parameter manager. Because the serial number is only read into the IOC at boot time, you will need to reboot the IOC after you have connected the motor! Alternatively, you can open the expert screen from the motor python object <motor>.expert_screen(), re-initialize from there & clear the power cycle. You can then use "<motor>.pmgr.diff()" to see the difference of current and saved configurations. "<motor>.pmgr.apply_config()" will apply the configuration. Check after applying the config that all parameters "made" it by calling pmgr.diff() on the same motor again.
