Subsequently pressing STOP will stop crosshead motion.
2. Momentary
The crosshead will move only if the button is held down. Releasing the button will stop
movement immediately.

Holding down the button for more than 0.5 second will enter momentary mode, at which time
an audible indicator will sound and the LED indicator on the button pushed will be illuminated.
A short tap on the button will operate the test stand in maintained mode. Pressing STOP
