On the Fly Trajectory Modification (Position Tracking)

Learn how to implement position tracking mode in Galil motion controllers to enable real-time trajectory modifications during motion. This application note covers the PT command for tracking applications like satellite tracking, missile tracking, and random pattern polishing where the target position must change dynamically. Includes detailed examples showing how to use PA, AC, DC, and SP commands to create controlled motion profiles that can respond to new absolute position targets without stopping the current move.
