## Phidget Motor Position Controller.lvlib:MotorPositionControllerSetDeadBand.vi

Depending on your system, it may not be possible to bring the position error (`TargetPosition` - `Position`) to zero. A small error can lead to the motor continually 'hunting' for a target position, which can cause unwanted effects. By setting a non-zero `DeadBand`, the motor will come to rest even if the position is slightly incorrect.

- Units for `Position`, `VelocityLimit`, `Acceleration`, and `DeadBand` can be set by the user through the `RescaleFactor`. The `RescaleFactor` allows you to use more intuitive units such as rotations, or degrees. For more information on how to apply the `RescaleFactor` to your application, see your controller's User Guide.

| Device In Device # Identification

| error in (no error) error in can accept error information wired from VIs previously called.

| status status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred. Right-click the error in control on the front panel and select Explain Error or Explain Warning from the shortcut menu for more information about the error.
