The problem with this is that the screen pmacAxes.edl will often have gaps in the PVs it tries to render. This causes edm to search for non-existent PVS. This is also a problem for Ophyd objects trying to drive pmacs.
The proposed fix is to instantiate some minimal records for all 16 axes with no DTYP (defaulting to softrecord). Then the aliases would override those records for which we do need a connection to an axes and the remaining ones would be left as minimal placeholders that fix the issue described above.
