home(xyz)

This will home the x, y and z stages at the same time

home_x(xyz)

This will home the x stage

home_y(xyz)

This will home the y stage

home_z(xyz)

This will home the z stage

move_x(xyz, x)

Moves x stage to desired absolute location

move_x(xyz, x)

A positive number will move it forwards along the x axis while a negative number will move it backwards.

move_xyz(xyz, x, y, z)

Simulatenously moves x, y and z stage to desired location

move_y(xyz, y)

Moves y stage to desired absolute location

move_y(xyz, y)

Moves y stage forward or backwards.

A positive number will move it forwards along the y axis while a negative number will move it backwards.

move_z(xyz, z)

Moves z stage to desired absolute location

move_z(xyz, z)

Moves z stage forward or backwards.

A positive number will move it forwards along the z axis while a negative number will move it backwards.

pos_x(xyz)

Returns the current position of x stage

pos_xyz(xyz)

Returns location of x, y and z stages in the form of a Array: [x, y, z]

pos_y(xyz)

Returns the current position of y stage

pos_z(xyz)

Returns the current position of z stage

set_limits(xyz, (x_low_lim, y_low_lim, z_low_lim), (x_high_lim, y_high_lim, z_high_lim))

Arguments
