6.3.8 Rotation StagesTab

Rotation Mode
This setting relates to the way in which the angular position is displayed on the GUI
panel. There are three options:
Fixed Range - The angular rotation is limited to 360° i.e. one revolution.
Equivalent Angle – The maximum displayed position is 359.99°. If a stage is
driven past the 360° rotation point, the display reverts back to zero and counts up
to 360° again.
Total Angle – The total angular rotation is displayed, e.g. for a movement of two
full rotations plus 10°, the display will show 730°.
Note. The following parameters are applicable only if the Rotation Mode is set to
'Equivalent Angle'.
Rotation Direction
This setting specifies the move direction. There are three options:
Rotate Forwards – The move is performed in a positive direction
Rotate Reverse - The move is performed in a negative direction
Rotate Quickest - The move is performed in the quickest direction
