Jogging
In ‘Remote’ mode, the motor actuators are jogged using the GUI panel arrow keys or
by using an optional jog handset connected to the MOTOR CONTROL port on the
rear panel of the unit - see Section 2.5. for more information on the jog handset. There
are two jogging modes available, ‘Single Step’ and ‘Continuous’. In ‘Single Step’
mode, the motor moves by the step size specified in the Step Distance parameter. If
the jog key is held down, single step jogging is repeated until the button is released -
see Fig. 3.6. In ‘Continuous’ mode, the motor actuator will accelerate and move at the
jog velocity while the button is held down.
1) Click the ‘Channel’ switch to select channel 2.
2) Click the ‘Settings’ button to display the Settings panel.
