Emulate hardware inputs.  For 
use only when Soft Controls 
are active. 

Caution: motor 

may spin when enabled.

Enter motor 
acceleration rate.

Hardware Input Status LEDs

Light = Input asserted (on)
Dark = Input de-asserted (off)

Click to open Homing Setup 
window (when homing is 
enabled).  Refer to text for 
instructions on homing setup.

when ClearPath is 
hardware enabled.

Enter value (1-100) to limit 
peak torque capability of 
motor as a % of motor’s 
maximum peak torque.

Enter value (1-400mS) to 
set how long the Enable 
line must be pulled low to 
qualify as a valid trigger 
pulse.

Set Increment 2 

Enter move distance 
in encoder counts. 

Set Increment 1 

Enter move distance 
in encoder counts. 

Set jerk limit.  Higher values result in 
smoother, more gradual transitions 
between move segments of differing 
acceleration; however,  overall move 
time is increased.
