The

Move tab

enables the user to move the actuator. There are three ways to

move the actuator.

1.

Jog – Jog is a mouse driven bar that moves the
actuator with a specific speed proportional to the
mouse location in both positive and negative
directions as long as the mouse is clicked.

2.

Absolute Move – “Move to”, moves the actuator to
the user specified position.

3.

Relative Move – “Increment”, moves the actuator by
the user specified position increment.

4.

Home - clicking on this button will initiate “home
search” algorithm.
