This allows the machine to start with the same coordinates it had on shutdown. This assumes there was no movement of the machine while powered off. If unset, joint positions are not stored and will begin at 0 each time EMC is started. This can help on smaller machines without home switches
but this should not be used as a switch on and go option as EMC still has no way of knowing where u are from swithc off to switch on, unless your reading absolute encoders etc but then u would't need the position_file ;) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
