//------------------------------------------------
// Onboard program. This onboard program moves an
axis back and //forth between targetPosition and
-targetPosition. Before //reversing directions it
//indicates to the host computer that it //is about
to do so.

// Initialize onboard variable 2 to the multiplier
used to change //the target position
err = flex_load_var(boardID, multiplier, 2);
CheckError;
// Initialize onboard variable 1 to the target
position
