the polarity of a switch (limit switch, home switch, and so on) in active
state. If these switches are active-low they are said to have inverting
polarity.

Move Complete Status
The proportional control of energy in the coils of a Stepper Motor that
allow the motor to move to or stop at locations other than the fixed
magnetic/mechanical pole positions determined by the motor
specifications. This capability facilitates the subdivision of full mechanical
steps on a stepper motor into finer microstep locations that greatly smooth
motor running operation and increase the resolution or number of discrete
positions that a stepper motor can attain in each revolution.
