This works very similar to the smart motor procedure, except that the serial number cannot be used to find the configuration. You will need to  pass the configuration name to the "diff" or "apply_config" functions. If you don't, you will be asked. There is a search option where smart string matching is used when you don't know the config name. It is planned to alliviate this issue my by labelling the stages with their config name (HXR). Dumb motor recognition does rely on the parameter manager knowing the serial numbers of the dumb motor controllers. Should you have a new chassis or a newly repaired one, this might not work and PCDS personnel will have to fix this.

Note: When running Navitar motors on the new MForce chassis there are two additional settings in the controller MCode that need to be set. D1 and D2 need to be set to 50. This can be done through the :CMD PV.
