This mode supports optional home-to-switch functionality. When homing
is initiated, the motor automatically rotates at the user-specified speed,
acceleration, and direction until a user-supplied switch or sensor is
actuated. Then ClearPath sets the home position (a settable homing offset
is optional). See homing setup instructions below.
