move_axis_mm

Description

Moves an axis to the given position in units of mm. Only applies to axes that move linearly, not rotationally.

Signature

move_axis_mm(self, axis: int, mm: float, vel: Optional[int] = None, accel: Optional[int] = None, wait: bool = True) -> CmdToken

Parameters

axis: int

The axis to move [0, 7]. Must be an axis that moves linearly, not rotationally.


mm: float

The position to move the axis to in units of mm.


vel: int, optional

Max velocity of the move in units of counts per second [0, 100000]. Values [0, 100] are interpreted as a percentage of the maximum velocity (100,000 cts/s). If the accel parameter is not given, the acceleration will be set to 10x the  velocity in units of cts/s². Note velocity scaling may occur, as explained in goto function description.


accel: int, optional

Constant acceleration of the axis to reach the given velocity, in units of counts per second² [0, 500000]. Values [0, 100] are interpreted as a percentage of the  maximum acceleration (500,000 cts/s²).


wait: bool, optional

If True, this command blocks until the move is finished.

Returns

CmdToken

A CmdToken object that can be used to follow up on the status of the move or wait for it to finish if wait = False.
