| Name | Attribute | Description | Attribute Range |
| NIMC_BP_WINDOW | 0x0200 | After the axis encounters a breakpoint, the axis must move outside the breakpoint window before it can rearm for another breakpoint. This is used to prevent oscillation from sending multiple breakpoint outputs from the same breakpoint position. The default is 0. | 0 to 255 |
| NIMC_PROGRAM_ AUTOSTART |
0x0300 | Use this attribute to return the onboard program that is enabled for auto start. | — |
| NIMC_GEARING_ ENABLED_STATUS |
0x0301 | Use this attribute to read the gearing enable status on an individual axis or on axes one through eight using the axis control resource. Reading the status on axes one through eight returns a bitmap where bit 0 is the status for axis 1 and so on. Reading the status on an individual axis returns a bitmap that is masked for that axis. | For each bit in the bitmap: 1 = gearing enabled 0 = gearing disabled |
