## Phidget BLDC Motor.lvlib:BLDCMotorSetTargetVelocity.vi

The average voltage across the motor is based on the `TargetVelocity` value.

- At a constant load, increasing the target velocity will increase the speed of the motor.
- `TargetVelocity` is bounded by -1×`MaxVelocity` and `MaxVelocity`, where a sign change (±) is indicitave of a direction change.
- Setting `TargetVelocity` to `MinVelocity` will stop the motor. See `TargetBrakingStrength` for more information on stopping the motor.
- The units of `TargetVelocity` and `Acceleration` refer to 'duty cycle'. This is because the controller must rapidly switch the power on/off (i.e. change the duty cycle) in order to manipulate the voltage across the motor.
