      <p class="para_topic">The option defines how your rotary table determines to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. &nbsp;The following options are available: Magnitude Determines Direction or Sign Determines Direction. </p>
      <ul>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Magnitude Determines Direction denotes that the system uses the sign algebraically to determine the angular position. &nbsp;B-90 and B90 are different positions on the rotary axis and are 180 degrees apart. &nbsp;Rotation to a larger angle is always clockwise and rotation to a smaller angle is always counter clockwise. &nbsp;Typically the travel limits on this type of table are more than 360 degrees (i.e. -9999 to 9999) </p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Sign Determines Direction means that the system uses sign only for direction of rotation. &nbsp;B90 and B-90 are the same position on the rotary table. When you select B90 the table rotates clockwise from its current location to 90. When you select B-90 the table rotates counterclockwise from its current location to 90. Typically, the limits on this table are from 0 to 360.</p>
