Move device

Now that the device has a position reference after homing it, you can start moving it.

First, add the following lines to the imports at the top of the code:

from zaber_motion import Units

// No additional includes needed

const { Length } = require('@zaber/motion');

import zaber.motion.Units;

import zaber.motion.Units;

import zaber.motion.Units;

LENGTH_MILLIMETRES = java_get("zaber.motion.Units", "LENGTH_MILLIMETRES");

// No additional includes needed

Then, use the absolute and/or relative movement methods to move the device. The following example demonstrates their usage:

# indent this code under the "with" statement
# Move to 10mm
device.move_absolute(10, Units.LENGTH_MILLIMETRES)
# Move by an additional 5mm
device.move_relative(5, Units.LENGTH_MILLIMETRES)

// Move to 10mm
device.MoveAbsolute(10, Units.Length_Millimetres);
// Move by an additional 5mm
device.MoveRelative(5, Units.Length_Millimetres);

// Move to 10mm
await device.moveAbsolute(10, Length.mm);
// Move by an additional 5mm
await device.moveRelative(5, Length.mm);

// Move to 10mm
device.moveAbsolute(10, Units.LENGTH_MILLIMETRES);
// Move by an additional 5mm
device.moveRelative(5, Units.LENGTH_MILLIMETRES);

% Move to 10mm
device.moveAbsolute(10, Units.LENGTH_MILLIMETRES);
% Move by an additional 5mm
device.moveRelative(5, Units.LENGTH_MILLIMETRES);

% Move to 10mm
device.moveAbsolute(10, Units.Length("mm"));
% Move by an additional 5mm
device.moveRelative(5, Units.Length("mm"));

% Move to 10mm
device.moveAbsolute(10, LENGTH_MILLIMETRES);
% Move by an additional 5mm
device.moveRelative(5, LENGTH_MILLIMETRES);

// Move to 10mm
device.moveAbsolute(10, Units::LENGTH_MILLIMETRES);
// Move by an additional 5mm
device.moveRelative(5, Units::LENGTH_MILLIMETRES);

The Getting Started guide concludes with the further steps section.
