The axis should move, and the
Control
Output
(in the
Axis Status Registers
)
should be 0.100.

If the axis did not move, resend the
command with a larger Output until the axis moves.
Note:
For the Quad module, if you are using the Enable
Output for enabling the actuator, such as a motor
drive, then you first need to set the Enable Output
before trying to move the actuator. For details, see the
Set
Enable Output (67) Command
topic in the
RMCTools help.

Now stop the axis:
In the Command tool, enter 0 in the
Output
box and click
Send

Repeat these steps to move the axis in the other direction. In the
Direct Output command, use a negative
Output
.
Move the axis back and forth through the entire travel range to
make sure the machine is operating properly.
