function (using the alias-position values). I would then like to
configure the slave with "ecrt_master_sdo_download" (and other) calls,
but this takes an absolute slave position.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

then iterating the slave info's (ecrt_master_get_slave) and matching against the
slaveInfo.alias. (I also need to take count of the alias position in case
there's more than one slave with the alias.)<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
