  Disable drive and clear faults; save parameters to NVRAMClosed"Non-volatile random access memory" NVRAM is the general name used to describe any type of random access memory which does not lose its information when power is turned off. This is in contrast to the most common forms of random access memory today, which both require continual power in order to maintain their data. NVRAM is a subgroup of the more general class of non-volatile memory types, the difference being that NVRAM devices offer random access, like hard disks. The best-known form of NVRAM memory today is flash memory; start or disconnect communication with the selected device.
Axis Control These controls allow you to enable/disable, stop any motion, and set the axis' Command Source and Operation Mode. There are independent controls for each axis. See Axis Settings for more information.
