1. Continuous - This move requires the operator to click and hold the icon.
This will move the respective axes by the set speed for as long as the
operator holds the icon down. This is availble for all axes except Spindle
where you do not hold the button down.
2. Move to position - This move lets the operator move to a desired
location in the current coordinate system. These are known as absolute
positional moves. The operator would type in the desired position and the
instrument will move at the set speed to that location.
3. Move by distance - This is used to move the instrument by set distances
at a set speed. The operator can type in the move distance they wish and
the instrument will move. Please note positive and negative are accepted
with this function.
