Jogging
During PC operation, the motor actuators are jogged using the GUI panel 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 Distance
parameter. If the velocity wheel is turned and held , single step jogging is repeated
until the wheel is released - see Fig. 6.3. In ‘Continuous’ mode, the motor actuator will
accelerate and move at the jog velocity while the wheel is turned.
1) On the GUI panel, click the ‘Settings’ button to display the Settings panel.

‘Accn/Dec’ - ‘0.1’
Operating Modes
‘Jogging’ - ‘Single Step’
‘Stopping’ - ‘Profiled’
‘Step Distance’ - ‘0.1’
4) Click ‘OK’ to save the settings and close the window.
5) Click the Jog Arrows on the GUI panel to jog the motor. Notice that the position
display increments 0.1 every time the button is clicked.
Note
In current versions of software, the ‘Min Vel’ parameter is locked at zero
and cannot be adjusted.
