•  A marker test 
•  A commutation test (for PM motors only) 
•  Determine important motor parameters 
The motion configuration instructions are: 
If you want to:  Use this instruction: 
Compute a complete set of servo gains and dynamic limits 
based on a previously executed MRAT instruction. 
 
The MAAT instruction also updates the servo module with the 
new gain parameters. 
MAAT 
Command the servo module to run a tuning motion profile 
for an axis. 
MRAT 
Apply the results of a previously executed MRHD instruction. 
 
The MAHD instruction generates a new set of encoder and 
servo polarities based on the observed direction of motion 
during the MRHD instruction. 
MAHD 
Command the servo module to run one of three diagnostic 
tests on an axis.

The Motion Apply Axis Tuning (MAAT) instruction is used to compute a 
complete set of servo gains and dynamic limits based on the results of a previously 
run Motion Run Axis Tuning (MRAT) instruction and update the motion 
module with these new gain parameters. While this instruction takes no explicit 
parameters, input is derived from the Axis Tuning Configuration parameters as 
described in Tune Status Parameter. After execution of the MAAT instruction, 
the corresponding axis should be ready for servo activation.
