Position VS Dest

On the Axis screen it has "Position" and "Dest". Anyone know what the difference is? I see there are two functions that will return the position or destination of a given axis. I am unclear the difference between the two.

Thanks!

Hi Snyggis,

"Destination" is the currently commanded coordinate for the Axis.

"Position" is the actual measured position of the axis. It is only valid if there is a feedback device such as an encoder.
