Use the Interactive Test Panel to test and debug your motion system and configuration settings on the
selected axis. With the Interactive Test Panel you can perform a simple straight-line move and monitor
feedback position and position error information, move and I/O status information, change move
constraints, get information about software errors and faults, and view position or velocity plots of the
move.
Complete the following steps to test your setup after configuring the axis using the
Axis Configuration
dialog box.
