Feature | Description |
Axis Name | This column has the names of each axis in the coordinate system named in the ladder faceplate. These names are not editable. |

When the Move Type is Absolute, the target column is entitled Target Position and when the Move Type is Incremental, the target column is entitled Target Increment |
Actual Position | This column contains the current actual position of the axes in the coordinate system. These values update dynamically when online and the Coordinate System Auto Tag Update is enabled. |

When in Absolute mode, this button automatically copies the actual position values to the Target Position Column. This button is not active in Incremental mode.
Set Vias = Actuals (MCCM instruction)
This button copies the values from the Actual Position fields to the Vias Fields. It is only active if the instruction type is MCCM, the Move Type is Absolute and the circle type is not Radius or Center Incremental.
