Command:
aVM
-- Enter Velocity Mode --
Default:
Position mode
This command places servo axis 'a' in the Velocity Mode of operation. In this mode, the
servo can be commanded to move in either direction to a maximum velocity. The servo will move
in that direction until commanded to stop. When using Velocity Mode, the user must specify the
direction for the servo to move using the Direction (DI) command. After specifying the desired
maximum velocity and the desired direction and placing the servo in velocity mode, the servo can
be started by issuing the Go (GO) command. While the servo is moving in Velocity Mode, the user
can change the velocity by issuing new Direction (DI) and/or Set Velocity (SV) commands. The
acceleration rate at which the servo's velocity will change, is determined by the Set Acceleration
(SA) command. The acceleration can also be changed at any time.
