I am using DMC-21x3 to control a stepper motor. When I use the HM command to home it, it takes a very long time to execute the FI stage. Is there a way to set the homing velocity to a value other than the default 256 cnts/sec?The documentation shows that the HV command is not applicable to DMC-21x3.

Hello mshaheen61,
HV command is not available for a DMC-21x3 controller.

An alternative would be to use FE and FI commands instead of HM command. HM command consists of two stages for steppers and three stages for servos. You can use FE command to find home input transitions and FI command to find the index as described for the third stage of HM command for servo motors.

For more information please see the command reference for HM, FE, and FI commands.

Thank you,
