I'll do some testing with an external stop calcout record.

Implementing hardware-limit enforcement in the soft-channel device support will likely require the direction bit to be set properly, which is also not implemented.

I think that it makes sense to take into account the New Target Monitor field (``NTM``) of the motor record: https://epics.anl.gov/bcda/synApps/motor/motorRecord.html#Fields_misc If ``NTM`` is ``YES``, the ``JOGF=1`` overrides the previous...

I can see why applying ``NTM`` to jogs could be surprising to a user. If I was the user and I issued a ``JOGF=1`` while the ``JOGR=1`` is in progress,...
