# Motor and Group Details

### **Groups**

**Stagehand Cards** may also represent a group of axes. This is indicated by the lock icon in the top-left corner of the **Stagehand Card**. Groups can only be created at the **Spikemark PC**. To learn more about how groups work, refer to [Groups](https://github.com/creativeconners/PublicDocumentation/blob/main/spikemark/groups.md).

To find out more information about a group including what individual axis are controlled by it, simply double tap the group's **Stagehand Card** to access **Group Details**.

From this menu you see and access the following:

1. Make the group **Active** or **Inactive**.

   NOTE: An Inactive group will not be able to move until Reactivated.
2. Below **Active** you can view the group's **Position Delta**.\
   NOTE: Adjustments can only be made at the Spikemark PC.
3. **Reset Drives** within the group should you experience a fault during operation.
4. **Connect All** or **Disconnect All** Stagehands from Spikemark NOTE: Disconnected Stagehands will not allow movement of their respective machines within a group
5. **Activate All** or **Deactivate All** machines within the group.\
   NOTE: Deactivated machines will not run within the group until reactivated. This is perfect should you need to take a faulted or broken machine temporarily out of a group.
6. Activate or Deactivate individual machines by tapping them in the **Axis/Stagehand List**
7. Add or move the group to a **Spike** or a one time **Move to Position**

#### **Motor Details**

Similar to **Group Details**, you need only double tap a single **Stagehand Card** to access its **Motor Details**.

You'll notice a very similar screen that allows a lot of the same accessibility as the **Group Details** menu with a few extras. You can now also:

1. Turn **Load Alarms** On/Off
2. Access **Motor Status** which gives you a lot more incite into why a motor is faulted or is not able to move. NOTE: Green means go! If you notice one of your parameters is showing red, try reseting the drive.
3. Access **Motor Properties** where you can adjust a variety of things such as:

   a) **Max Fdw/Rev Position** to further limit the travel of a motor

   b) **Max/Min Jog Percent** to adjust the sensitivety of the **Jog Paddle**

   c) **Default Speed, Accel and Decel** to adjust how fast your machines move when moving to a **Spike** or **Move to Position**.
