Jog Parameters
Under certain velocity parameter and move distance conditions, the
maximum velocity may never be reached (i.e. the move comprises an
The limits for the max velocity or acceleration parameters are dependent
on the stage being driven. They can be obtained by calling the
The move is also affected by the 'Profile' and 'Jerk' settings in the
Jogs are initiated by using the 'Jog' keys on the GUI panel (see Section 5.6.), or the
Jog Buttons on the front panel of the unit.
Step Size - The distance to move when a jog command is initiated. The step size is
specified in real world units (mm or degrees dependent upon the stage).
Mode - The way in which the motor moves when a jog command is received (i.e. front
panel button pressed or GUI panel button clicked).
There are two jogging modes available, 'Jog' and 'Continuous'. In 'Jog' mode, the
motor moves by the distance specified in the Step Size parameter. If the jog key is
held down, single step jogging is repeated until the button is released - see Fig. 6.3.
In 'Continuous' mode, the motor actuator will accelerate and move at the jog velocity
while the button is held down..
Jog - the motor moves by the distance specified in the Step Size parameter.
Continuous - the motor continues to move until the jog signal is removed (i.e.
jog button is released).
Stop - the way in which the jog motion stops when the demand is removed.
