speed. In this mode, the speed command specifies a signed velocity in which
the sign determines the direction of axis movement, and the ordinal value
specifies the speed of movement in this direction. In this mode, if the
commanded speed is negative, the axis is automatically commanded to the
minimum axis position. Conversely, if the speed command is positive, the
axis is automatically commanded to the maximum axis position. A speed of
zero is applied by halting the axis motion. It is important to note that in pure
velocity control mode, a speed command for a given axis effectively overrides
currently executing position commands. As a result, the speed control mode
at power up is always set to independent control mode; the speed control
mode is not saved as defaults that are preserved when the unit is powered
back up.
higher.

Set to pure velocity control mode:
Example
Put into the default independent control mode, the pan-tilt will finish at
position -3000. Put in the pure velocity control mode, the pan-tilt will finish
on the opposite pan side. Note that the default restore (also executed upon
unit power up) restores the unit to independent control mode:

4.5 Unit Commands

4.5.1 Reset Pan-Tilt Unit

Description
This command controls how, and when, the pan-tilt unit is calibrated. By
default, the pan-tilt unit is configured to reset both the pan and tilt axes
automatically upon power up and by issuing the reset command.
tilt power up, and to allow reset of an individual pan-tilt axis. The reset
calibration allows the pan-tilt unit to determine axis coordinates, hence a
pan-tilt axis should be reset prior to issuing any axis position commands. A
pan-tilt axis that has not been calibrated has a minimum and maximum axis
