C.2.4 Power Saving
The current needed to hold a motor in a fixed position is much smaller than the current
needed to move it, and it is advantageous to reduce the current through a stationary
motor in order to reduce heating. Although this heating does not harm the motor or
stage, it is often undesirable because it can cause thermal movements through
expansion of the metal of the stage.
For this reason, power saving is implemented by default from the software drivers.
When a motor is moving, the ‘Move Power’ is applied. When a motor is stationary, the
‘Rest Power’ is applied. See ‘Phase Powers’ in Section 6.3.3. for more details on
these power settings.
