### Substitution file
The substitution file is a table containing axis-specific information which is used to create the axis-specific PVs. To work with sinqMotor, "mcu1.substitutions" needs to look like this:

- `AXIS`: Index of the axis, corresponds to the physical connection of the axis to the MCU.
- `M`: The full PV name is created by concatenating the variables INSTR, NAME and M. For example, the PV of the first axis would be "SQ:SINQTEST:mcu1:lin1".
- `DESC`: Description of the motor. This field is just for documentation and is not needed for operating a motor.
- `EGU`: Engineering units. For a linear motor, this is mm, for a rotaty motor, this is degree.
- `DIR`: If set to "Neg", the axis direction is inverted.
- `MRES`: This is a scaling factor determining the resolution of the position readback value. For example, 0.001 means a precision of 1 um. A detailed description can be found in section [Motor record resolution MRES](#motor-record-resolution-mres).
#### Optional parameters
The default values for those parameters are given for the individual records in db/sinqMotor.db
- `DESC`: Description of the motor. This field is just for documentation and is not needed for operating a motor.
- `MSGTEXTSIZE`: Buffer size for the motor message record in characters
- `ENABLEMOVWATCHDOG`: Sets `setWatchdogEnabled` during IOC startup to the given value.
- `LIMITSOFFSET`: If the motor limits are read out from the controller, they can
