Move data is entered/displayed as follows:
Dist/Pos: - the distance to move from the current position (if ’Relative’ is selected)
or the position to move to (if ’Absolute’ is selected).
Dwell Time: - after the move is performed, the system can be set to wait for a
specified time before performing the next move in the sequence. The Dwell time is the
time to wait (in milliseconds).
Return - if checked, the system will move to the position specified in the Dist/Pos field,
wait for the specified Dwell time, and then return to the original position.
4) Min Vel: Acc: and Max Vel: - the velocity profile parameters for the move.
Note. In current versions of software, the ‘Min Vel’ parameter is locked at zero and
cannot be adjusted.
The motor accelerates at the rate set in the Acc field up to the speed set in the Max
Vel field. As the destination approaches, the motor decelerates again to ensure that
there is no overshoot of the position.
5) Enter the required move data into the Move Editor and click OK. The move data
is displayed in the main window as shown below.
