Single-Axis Motion functions

The following table describes the Single-Axis Motion functions.

Function name	Description
AbortCommand	Cancels a command.
GetAxisPosition	Gets the current position from an axis. The position can be set position or actual position.
GetAxisVelocity	Gets the current actual velocity from an axis.
HaltAxis	Commands a controlled motion stop.
InchAxis	Commands a never-ending controlled motion at a specified velocity with a maximum distance.
JogAxis	Commands a never-ending controlled motion at a specified velocity.
MoveAxisAbsolute	Commands a controlled motion to a specified absolute position.
MoveAxisAdditive	Adds a relative distance based on the last commanded position in the Discrete Motion state.
MoveAxisContinuousAbsolute	Commands a controlled motion to a specified absolute position ending with the specified velocity.
MoveAxisContinuousRelative	Commands a controlled motion of a specified relative distance ending with the specified velocity.
MoveAxisRelative	Commands a controlled motion of a specified distance relative to the current set position.
MoveAxisVelocity	Commands a never-ending controlled motion at a specified velocity.
ReleaseAxis	Releases an axis from the Stopping state or detaches it from camming or gearing.
SetAxisPositionOffset	Shifts the coordinate system of an axis by manipulating both the setpoint position as well as the actual position of an axis with the same value without causing any movement (recalibration with same following error).
StopAxis	Commands a controlled motion stop and sets a axis to the Stopping state.
WaitForCommand	Waits a command to be finished.
