\subsection{Disabled Motor}
\textit{Platforms: All}

\ \newline
This driver type was added to make it easier to quickly disable a particular
motor in the MX database.  The \textit{disabled\_motor} driver has no extra
fields beyond the default motor fields.  This makes it easy to just change
the \textit{mx\_type} field in the record description to 
\textit{disabled\_motor} and have the record description still be a valid
record description, albeit with ignored, trailing text.

The \textit{disabled\_motor} driver makes no attempt to accurately simulate
the behavior of a real motor.  If you want a more accurate simulation,
select the \textit{soft\_motor} driver described further on in this
chapter.
