How to start a contour move from a non-zero position

[Mil_E]

Hi,
I am using a PXI 7344 motion controller under LabVIEW 8 to do a vector contour move. How can I start the contour from a non zero position ? I want to use absolute position mode. The test requires the x axis to move to a known distance and wait for a known time (more than a 1 hour) before the contour starts.

Hi Milinda,

Unfortunately the zero position is inserted at the beginning of the array points by the firmware. As far as I know there is no way to stop this happening. The only way to get round this is to use reletive positioning and keep track of the current position.
