Jogging is the act of manually moving one more more axes with the buttons on the interface. The [[Position display (servo)|position display]] will update as you move.

== Jog Controls ==
You can jog each axis individually with the jog buttons on the interface, or you can use the arrow keys on your keyboard.

=== Keyboard Shortcuts ===
The arrow keys jog the axis in the X and Y plane. The numeric keypad also moves on the X and Y plane, but has the additional feature of allowing diagonal jogging (with the 7, 9, 3 and 1 keys).

The - (dash) key jogs Z down, and + (plus) jogs Z up. This can be confusing for new users, but it relates to the Z-axis sign; negative is down, positive is up.

== Parameters ==
Set or change the JOG SPEED rate and JOG STEP size in any one of four ways.

# Move the scroll bar to the desired speed.
# Use the arrows at either end of the scroll bar.
# Change the value by pressing the keyboard shortcuts, F5 through F8.
# Double click the area above the scroll bars and a shortcut window will appear. Simply enter the desired vale in the input box and press OK.

F9 will toggle between CONTINUOUS Motion or STEP Jogging. The Continuous/Step radio
buttons give you the option of jogging ‘continually’ or one ‘step’ at a time. The difference in ‘feel’ should be obvious. When in Step-mode, the machine will move the specified step distance. When in Continuous-Mode, the axes jog in a smooth, even and continuous fashion.
