  ## PINS

- **axistest.*N*.jog-minus bit in**

  Drive TRUE to jog the axis in its negative ('minus') direction.

- **axistest.*N*.jog-plus bit in**

  Drive TRUE to jog the axis in its positive direction.

- **axistest.*N*.run bit in**

  Drive TRUE to run the axis near its current position\_fb with a trapezoidal velocity profile.

- **axistest.*N*.maxvel float in**

  Maximum velocity

- **axistest.*N*.amplitude float in**

  Approximate amplitude of positions to command during 'run'

- **axistest.*N*.dir s32 in**
