4.4.2 Menu Option - Go to position

This mode is used to move to an absolute position.
V
Press the MENU button, then use the wheel to scroll
through the menu options.
Press the MENU button to enter the Go to positions
option.
Use the wheel to adjust the position value, (within the
travel range for linear stages, or 0 to 360 ° for rotation
stages) then press the MENU button to store the
selection.
Note for rotation stages. If the current absolute position
is outside the 0 to 360 degree range, then "go to position"
will result in a move to the correct angular position within
the same 0..360 degree full turn "segment". This means
that the move will always stay in the current full turn
segment, and from this point of view it is not always the
quickest position move. For example, if you are at 350
degrees and you enter a "go to" position of 10 degrees,
the stage will rotate anticlockwise 340 degrees and not
clockwise 20 degrees.
The stage moves to the position entered, and the display
shows the change in position.
V
To stop the move, press the MENU button.
