Moveset Control Word
A moveset block must contain a moveset control word as the first
word in the block. Each of the bits of the moveset control word
serves a function in the control of a stepper motor axis. Bit functions
of the moveset control word are defined below and summarized in
Figure 3.7.

Bit 00 Start Command Bit.
When this bit is set, the stepper controller module will start to
execute the first move of a continuous or independent mode
sequence or the next single step move.
Bit 01, 02 Mode Select Bits.
These two bits are used to determine the type of positioning profile.
Bit 01=0, Bit 02=0: Continuous Mode (Figure 3.3)
Bit 01=0, Bit 02=1: Independent Mode (Figure 3.4)
Bit 01=1, Bit 02=1 or 0: Single-Step Mode (Figure 3.2)
Refer to section titled “Positioning Modes” for mode descriptions.
