When the motorRecord is initialized, init_record() is called. For asynMotors init_record() calls init_controller() in devMotorAsyn.c From here, the encoder ratio is send to the driver. After doing that, the code "locks" the execution waiting for a callback to call epicsEventSignal(pPvt->initEvent) which "unlocks" the code. As Mark Clift points out, this code can be simplified and the initEvent can be removed. Mark Rivers suggested to use the asynFloat64SyncIO interface, which locks the asyn port when calling the driver.
