When the operator sets a limit and then moves the wheel beyond the limit, the camera will come to a stop but the wheel is free to move. The relationship between the wheel and the camera must be resolved in some way. To give operator's the most options, we have three choices of behavior to choose from:
With Slip, once the wheel passes the limit, the wheel will continue to move. Once the operator starts panning back the other direction, the camera will immediately start moving again. This behavior feels incredibly natural and is the least disruptive way of using limits. It is called "Slip" because the absolute repeatable relationship between the wheel position and camera positions will slip beyond limits.
With Pass, once the wheel passes the limit, the wheel will also continue to move. But in order for the operator to regain control, they must physically move the wheel back to the point of the limit, from there it will regain control. The absolute repeatable relationship between the wheel position and camera positions will be maintained.
[!] As of the current firmware (1.2.1-2.0.2) Motor stop is not available due to performance and software issues. Will hopefully return in future versions.
With Motor Stop, once the wheel passes the limit, the motors will bring the wheel to a stop. If the wheel moves much beyond the limit, the motor will even bring it back to the exact point of the limit. The absolute repeatable relationship between the wheel position and camera positions will be maintained.
