Example:
CAPTUREAXIS.0 = 0
CAPTUREAXIS.1 = 0
CAPTUREMODE.0 = 1
CAPTUREMODE.1 = 3
CAPTURE = 1
The above example will capture the measured speed, from axis 0, on channel 0 and the measured
position, from axis 0, on channel 1.

Description:
On NextMove PCI, servo and stepper motion is performed by a ASIC which is capable of supporting
both a servo axis and a stepper axis. Each ASIC is referenced by a channel number and NextMove PCI
can have up to four channels labelled 0 to 3. Channels on a NextMove PCI expansion card are labelled
4 to 7. See section 2 for a full description of controller channels.
