 ## Overview
 
-This is a driver for the Turbo PMAC motion controller with the SINQ
-communication protocol. It is based on the sinqMotor shared library
-(https://gitea.psi.ch/lin-epics-modules/sinqMotor). The header files contain
-detailed documentation for all public functions. The headers themselves are
-exported when building the library to allow other drivers to depend on this one.

-`drvAsynIPPortConfigure`. For the general configuration, please see
