8. Press ENTER to continue on to the calibration step.
9. Follow the on-screen prompts to select each joint to calibrate the axes that
calibrate to a hard stop. The absolute encoder position on these axes must be
reset. This is accomplished by driving the axes to a hard stop, then resetting the
absolute encoder to zero.
NOTE: Motor calibration will reset the absolute encoder multi-turn data
to zero.
10. After you have calibrated the axis, you will be prompted to save the specification
data to system disk. You must save the specification data and reboot the
controller before the new configuration will be in effect.

Testing the Axis
The Servo Kit motor should now be operational. This can be verified by moving the axis
using the optional pendant or writing a brief test program to exercise the motor.
NOTE: For continuous-turn applications, V+ requires a roll-over value.
The default roll-over value is 360 degrees, which can be changed using
the Motion Parameter menu in spec.v2.
