4.5 Stopping the Stage
The drive channel is enabled and disabled by clicking the ‘Enable’ button on the GUI
panel or the front panel of the unit. The green indicator is lit when the drive channel is
enabled. Disabling the channel removes the drive power and allows the stage/
actuator to be positioned manually.
During operation, the stage can be stopped at any time by clicking the ‘Stop’ button
on the GUI panel. Using this button does not remove power to the drive channel.
