2. On the Step motors low level setup page, most parameters are pre-defined and cannot be changed. The Home (Zero position) button state is
also pre-defined, however, it can be turned on and off.
Warning!
Do not change its state because the system starts finding the sensor or value in zero position the opposite direction which is false operation and
P1000 can be seriously damaged!
3. On the Step motors testing page, you can find the functions as illustrated below.
Caution!
Speed and Acceleration values can be changed but do not change them!
After clicking the Start motor and Test motor buttons, a green tick appears in the drop-down list next to the actual motor showing its proper
functioning.
