Character: @
Decimal: 64
Hexadecimal: 0x40
Command Value: Home Position
Note: This command is available on quadrature controlled axes only. This includes quadrature axes with servo or stepper output.
This command is issued to arm the home input before homing the axis. The axis must have the home input armed to detect and report a home condition. When both the Home (H) and Index (Z) inputs are active and the home is enabled, the axis is in the Home Active state. When either of these signals go inactive, the axis position is set to the home position specified by the Command Value of the @ command. This gives software the final say over when the position gets reset. It is recommended that homing is always done in the same direction and at the same speed for repeatability.
The Home Status bit will go on only if the home input is armed. For details on homing, see Homing a Quadrature Axis.
