Summary	Changes direction of device movement.

Use this command to reverse the device movement direction if the device is homing in the wrong direction. When set to reversed mode, both the motor output and the encoder input will reverse direction. This is equivalent to swapping the phases on motor and encoder cables, or attaching a motor at the opposite end of the stage. Improperly setting this value may result in damage to the home sensor or actuator.

0 - Normal (Default)

Device operates in normal direction.

1 - Reversed

Device operates in reversed direction.

This setting is stored in non-volatile memory and will persist after power-down or reset.
