millimetres or degrees) of the motor. The motor
must be 'Homed' before the display will show a
meaningful value, (i.e. the displayed position is
relative to a physical datum, the limit switch).
Move - Opens the settings window, so that position data and velocity
parameters can be entered - see Section 6.4. Moves are performed using the current
velocity parameters which can be changed in the same panel. The present settings
are displayed below the window.
Velocity Parameters - the present setting for the move velocity
parameters and the jog step size. The travel range of the
associated stage/actuator is also displayed.
