THORLABS KBD101 User Manual page 15

The unit takes about 5 seconds from power application until warm up is finished, and
phase initialization is complete. During this time the following screens are displayed.
.
If any problems are encountered during the connection and power up
process, power cycle the unit, which should clear the error.
3-phase brushless DC motors are commutated electronically, i.e. the
controller drives the coils with a precisely controlled waveform, that
depends on the position of the rotor (or, with linear motors, the position
of the coil housing). On power up, the position of the rotor is not known.
The controller establishes this by energising the coils and measuring the
resulting movement. This is why on power up, the stage (motor) makes a
slight buzzing noise and moves about slightly for a few seconds. Phase
initialisation can only take place if the motor can move unobstructed

drivers for the new hardware.
After initial start up, the drive channel must be enabled before the stage
