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 jog key is held down, single step jogging is repeated until the button
is released - see Fig. 5.3. In ‘Continuous’ mode, the motor actuator will accelerate and
move at the jog velocity while the button is held down.
1) On the GUI panel, click the ‘Settings’ button to display the Settings panel.

2) Select the Move/Jogs tab as shown in Fig. 4.7.
3) In the ‘Jogs’ field, enter parameter values as follows:

‘Accn/Dec’ - ‘0.1’
Note. In current versions of software, the ‘Min Vel’ parameter is locked at zero and
cannot be adjusted.
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.
