+	MAXv
+==============================================================================
+
+Synopsis
+--------
+
+Since the motor record device driver for the MAXv queries the MAXv for it's
+configuration before there is a connection between the record and the device,
+IOC's that use MAXv's must be initially booted in order for the MAXv to be
+configured, and then rebooted before the motor record can read the correct
+configuration.
+
+
+For all MAXv motors.
+--------------------
+
+Configure the MAXv's limit switch sense by placing one of the following MAXv
+controller commands in the INIT field.  This command determines which TTL
+signal level defines an active limit switch input:
+
+LL; - low (default).
+LH; - high.
+
+Note: Separate multiple commands in the INIT field with ";".
+
+
+Configuring the MAXv for an open loop stepper motor (default).
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+Set J8 for stepper and add the command "PS0;" to the INIT field.
+
+
+Configuring the MAXv for a stepper motor with encoder.
+------------------------------------------------------
+Set J8 for stepper and add the command "PSE;" to the INIT field.
+
+
+Configuring the MAXv for a servo motor.
+---------------------------------------
+Set J8 for servo and add the command "PSM;" to the INIT field.
+
+
+!!WARNING!! READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH!
+
+After all the MAXv controller commands have been configured for all the axes
+in one individual MAXv, add the "APP" command to the end of the last axes
+INIT field.  The "APP" command instructs the MAXv controller to store a set of
+the current parameters as the power-up default values in FLASH memory.  Repeat
+the above for all the MAXv controllers and corresponding records.  Boot the
+IOC.  The limit switch sense and motor type are now stored in the MAXv's flash
+memory.  REMOVE the "APP" commands from ALL the MAXv motor record INIT fields.
+Reboot the IOC. The motor record should now have the correct configuration.
