4.In the Move Type drop down box, check that the move type is set to Step.
5.Click in the Distance box and enter a distance for the step move. It is recommended to set a value that will cause the motor to turn a short distance, for example one revolution.
Note:
The distance depends on the scale set in
section 5.3.1. If you set a scale so that units could be expressed in revolutions (or other unit of your choice), then those are the units that will be used here. If you did not set a scale, the amount you enter will be in encoder quadrature counts.
6.Click in the Duration box and enter a duration for the move, in seconds. This should be a short duration, for example 0.15 seconds.
7. Click Go.
The NextMove BXII will perform the move and the motor will turn. As the soon as the move is completed, WorkBench v5 will download captured data from the NextMove BXII. The data will then be displayed in the Capture window as a graph.
Note: The graphs that you see will not look exactly the same as the graphs shown here! Remember that each motor has a slightly different response.
8.Using the check boxes below the graph, select the traces you require, for example Demand position and Measured position.
