Example - Start Motion on Input

This example waits for input 1 to go low and then starts motion.

NOTE: The AI command actually halts execution of the program until the input occurs. If you do not want to halt the program sequences, you can use the Input Interrupt function (II) or use a conditional jump on an input, such as JP #GO,@IN[1] = 1.
