Variable Current Mode
Command
<axis> VCM <on or off>
Description
Set Variable Current Mode reduces the current being driven in the stepper motor if the shaft deflection is low and the extra torque is not needed. This behavior is only available if tracking is on. If the current control mode is set to "fixed" then the reduction current will be used after the reduction delay regardless of shaft deflection. If the motor is not in tracking mode then fixed current reduction will be used regardless of this setting.
Escapes
The Set Variable Current Mode command does not generate any escapes
Examples
This shows checking to see if variable current mode is active, turning it on, and then turning it off:
