Galil DMC-4040 - Contour Mode; Chapter 7 Application Programming

Multi-Axis Coordinated Move
Many applications require moving two or more axes in a coordinated move yet still require smooth motion at the
same time. These applications are ideal candidates for PVT mode.
In this example we will have a 2 dimensional stage that needs to follow a specific profile. The application requires
that the certain points be met however the path between points is not important. Smooth motion between points is
critical.
