6.3 Settings Panel
When the 'Settings' button on the GUI panel is clicked, the 'Settings' window is
displayed. This panel allows motor operation parameters such as move/jog velocities,
and stage/axis information to be modified. Note that all of these parameters have
programmable equivalents accessible through the ActiveX methods and properties
on this Control (refer to the Programming Guide in the APT helpfile for further details
and to Section 2.3.4. for an overview of the APT ActiveX controls).

Moves - Velocity Profile
Moves can be initiated via the GUI panel, by using the velocity wheel (see Section
4.3.) or by entering a position value after clicking on the position display box (see
Section 5.4.). The following settings determine the velocity profile of such moves, and
are specified in real world units, millimetres or degrees.
MaxVel - the maximum velocity at which to perform a move.
Accn/Dec - the rate at which the velocity climbs from minimum to maximum, and
slows from maximum to minimum.
Note
The minimum velocity is locked at zero and cannot be adjusted.
Note
Under certain velocity parameter and move distance conditions, the
maximum velocity may never be reached (i.e. the move comprises an
acceleration and deceleration phase only).
