Multi-Galil IOC

In some cases it is necessary for one IOC to talk to multiple galil motor controllers.

For example, this IOC is used for SANS2D, which have a jawset with oppositing jaw blades on different galil controllers.

Configuration macros

The GALILMUL iocs are configured with ADDR and MTRCTRL macros as for a normal galil. A blank MTRCTRL macro specifies that no controller exists.

Motor configuration files

The GALILMUL iocs load .cmd files from C:\instrument\settings\config\<machine>\configurations\galilmul, similar to the existing (single) galil controller IOC. The same files can be loaded as the usual, single, galil controller (for example jaws.cmd or motorExtensions.cmd).

If multiple GALILMUL iocs are present on a beamline, use a macro guard like $(IFIOC_GALILMUL_01=#) to select the appropriate IOC
