dev = ZaberDevice('COM3') # Windows
dev.get_actuator_count()
2
dev.get_position()
[130000, 160000]
dev.home()
dev.moving()
[True, True]
dev.moving()
[False, False]
dev.get_position()
[0, 0]
dev.move_relative(10000)
dev.get_position()
[10000, 10000]
dev.move_relative(10000,0)
dev.moving()
[True, False]
dev.get_position()
[20000, 10000]
dev.store_position(0)
dev.get_stored_position(0)
[20000, 10000]
dev.move_at_speed(1000)
dev.stop()
