7.3 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 APTServer helpfile for further
details and to Section 1.2.4. for an overview of the APT ActiveX controls). The various
parameters are described below.

Moves
Moves can be initiated via the GUI panel by entering a position value after clicking on
the position display box (see Section 6.4.) or by calling a software function (see the
APTServer helpfile). The following settings determine the velocity profile of such
moves, and are specified in real world units (millimetres).
Moves - Velocity Profile specified in real world units, (millimetres).
Max Vel - the maximum velocity at which to perform a move (0 to 50 mm/sec).
Accn/Dec - the rate at which the velocity climbs from zero to maximum, and slows
from maximum to zero (up to 50 mm/sec
2
).
Caution
When the stage is mounted vertically, the Max Vel parameter must be set to 3
mm/sec. and the Max Accn parameter to 5 mm/sec
