mand. For example, this feature can be used to create soft limit switches, in which case
the motor can be made to stop if the feedback sensor in a position mode has reached a
minimum value.

^AMINA 2 33 : Stops motor 2. I.e. 33 = 1 (safety stop) + 32 (motor2)
AMOD - Enable and Set Analog Input Mode
HexCode: 13
Description:
This parameter is used to enable/disable an analog input pin. When enabled, it can be
made to measure an absolute voltage from 0 to 5V, or a relative voltage that takes the 5V
output on the connector as the 5V reference. The absolute mode is preferred whenever
measuring a voltage generated by an outside device or sensor. The relative mode is the
mode to use when a sensor or a potentiometer is powered using the controller’s 5V out-
put of the controller. Using the relative mode gives a correct sensor reading even though
the 5V output is imprecise.
