I am trying to make the independent axis move with the use of “IndAMove” instructions. (It is a turntable configured as a seventh axis)

Getting this alarm shown by the screenshot below

Manual states that IndAMove activates ind.mode when called but when i run the code i get the error that states that i should not use independent.mode.

The manual states the option is not possible to use with positioners interchange axis (and track motion).
