Smart.JogPanel is the manual motion panel of a machine pendant, with axis positions from the drive, continuous or incremental jogging, a speed override and a stop button.

In Cont. mode an axis moves while its jog button is held and stops when the button is released, when the pointer leaves the button, when focus moves away or when an interlock is set. With a step selected, each press requests one increment and there is no auto-repeat. Only one axis jogs at a time, a soft limit prevents jogging in the direction that would cross it, and the position readout shows the position reported by the drive.

The simulated drive moves at 20 mm/s multiplied by the speed override, has soft limits of ±150 mm in X and Y and 0–80 mm in Z, and takes a moment to home. Clear the Manual mode checkbox to interlock the panel through the machine mode.
