The motors target position is measured in pulses. By default the motors resolution is 1000 pulses per revolution. This can be adjusted in discrete steps from 200 pulses per revolution all the way up to 50,000 pulses per revolution by changing the value of K37. Pulses are distributed evenly around the circumference of the motor; in the case of 1000 pulses per revolution, a position of 250 would be 90 degrees, and 500 would be 180 degrees. If the position is set to 1000000000 the motor will run indefinitely with no target stop point.
Motor position can also be incremented from the current position by using the P.1+ command. In this case, instead of entering:
P.1 = 100
Which will send the motor to position 100, you can enter:
P.1+ = 100
Which will increment the current position by 100 pulses.
