Immediate - the motor stops quickly, in a non-profiled manner
Profiled - the motor stops in a profiled manner using the jog Velocity Profile
parameters set above.
Maximum Velocity - the maximum velocity at which to perform a move.
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
Acceleration - the rate at which the velocity climbs from zero to maximum, and slows
from maximum to zero.
The limits for the max velocity or acceleration parameters are dependent

Velocity Parameters
Moves can be initiated via the GUI panel by entering a position value after clicking on
the position display box (see Section 5.5.), or by calling a software function (see the
Kinesis API helpfile). The following settings determine the velocity profile of such
moves, and are specified in real world units, millimetres or degrees.
Maximum Velocity - the maximum velocity at which to perform a move.
Acceleration - the rate at which the velocity climbs from zero to maximum, and slows
from maximum to zero.
Under certain velocity parameter and move distance conditions, the
maximum velocity may never be reached (i.e. the move comprises an
Backlash
Backlash is a term used to describe the errors inherent in motors which use a
leadscrew. Brushless linear DC motors have no leadscrew and therefore this
parameter is normally set to 0.
