Motor Encoder Attributes

The 7.29 widget display encoder-related attributes and supports homing and closing the loop. The Help pop-up menu offers detailed help about the attributes, the homing and closed loop operation.

• Home: start the homing procedure.
• Set FlagEncoderHomed: if you know that the position is correct and that homing is unnecessary, you may use this button.
• Cali Enc.: calibrate the encoder position to the motor position.
• AlignRegAndEncs: to make the step position consistent with the encoder reading. Generally this will change the UnitCalibration, but not the position.
