Modifying Axis Parameters

Once a new motion component has been defined for an axis, you can
review its default parameters. The following discussion assumes that you
want to see them all and will not exit after each one is displayed.
If you just want to change one parameter, you are probably familiar with
the controller's operation and need just some pointers. For this case we
included the quick key sequence and, where appropriate, the related
remote commands. For simplicity, we start the quick key sequence from
the top level Axes Setup menu, assuming that you already selected the
axis number you want to make the change to.
From the top level Axes Setup menu, press the
the first axis parameter. To scroll the parameter list you can use the

Units

Units is the first axis parameter displayed. It represents the displacement
units the controller will use for display and reporting. The available units
are mm, µm, In, mIn, µIn and Inc for translation mechanical families and
Deg, Grd, Rad, mRad, µRad and Inc for rotary mechanical families.
If you change the displacement units, you must revise all other parame-
ters that are affected. All velocities, accelerations, travel limits, etc. must
be scaled to the new units.
To change the displacement units, press the
