 If a PV gives you trouble, a first good step is to see if the IOC is up stably and possibly reboot isit. For that you will use the IOC manager which has a user guide here. This guides describes how to start it and how to it works. More detailed information for commonly used IOCs can be found below.

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 module has a function called "auto setup" which will initizlize the motor, clear the power cycle and check for a configuration based on matching the motor controllers serial ID in the parameter manager. Alternatively, you can open the exert 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.

...

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. <that is NOT what happened in XPP on 2/5/18> 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 labelling the stages with their config name (HXR).
