5.6 Jogging

During PC operation, the motor actuators are jogged using the GUI panel 'Step' arrow
keys
There are two jogging modes available, 'Single Step' and 'Continuous'. In 'Single
Step' mode, the motor moves by the step size 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.
Caution
If the actuator is driven into its end stops, the motor may stick and may not
respond to subsequent motion demands. If this is the case, turn the adjustment
knob ob the actuator manually to move the device away from its end stop, then
the motor should move normally.
1) To adjust the Jog parameters, click the Step
Parameters popup window.
2) Enter the parameters values as required, then click Apply to save the settings.
These parameters can also be set/saved in the settings panel for each channel -
see Section 6.3.3. for more details on these parameters.
