(new python): motors added to the questionnaire (where they should be anyways) will be instantiated automatically.

IMS - smart motors

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. 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.
