Chapter 6 PC Operation
6.4 Changing Motor Parameters and Moving to an Absolute Position
Absolute moves are measured in real world units (e.g. millimetres), relative to the
Home position.
Moves are performed using a trapezoidal velocity profile (see Appendix C, Section
C.1.3.). The velocity settings relate to the maximum velocities at which a move is
performed, and the acceleration at which the motor speeds up from zero to maximum
velocity.
1) On the GUI panel, click the Move arrow to show the Settings panel.

2) Enter the required absolute position and/or parameter values.
3) To move to the position entered click the arrow
4) Click ‘Apply’ to save the parameter settings and close the window, click Reset to
return to the previously saved values.
6.5 Stopping the Stage
The drive channel is enabled and disabled by clicking the ‘Enable’ button on the GUI
panel or the top panel of the unit. The green indicator is lit when the drive channel is
enabled. Disabling the channel removes the drive power and allows the stage/
actuator to be positioned manually.
During operation, the stage can be stopped at any time by clicking the ‘Stop’ button
on the GUI panel. Using this button does not remove power to the drive channel.
