Executes a halt and then moves specified axis motors toward their ''HOME'' position.  The default location for the ''HOME'' position (1000 mm) is far past the positive limit of the stage travel.  If a hardware or firmware limit switch is encountered, the motor will stop. 


If there are no errors, an <wrap reply> :A </wrap>  is returned.

<WRAP center round important 60%>**Warning!** This is not the same thing as pressing the physical **HOME** button on the controller, which moves all axes to the zero position. You can use the **MOVE** command to move each axis to zero, e.g. **MOVE X Y**.
</WRAP>

== Example ==
	
<asi> $ ! X Y Z
:A</asi>

The X, Y and Z axis motors will start moving towards the ''HOME'' position.  A [[commands:halt|HALT command]] can stop the motors.  

**Note:** The stage will be positioned at the limit switches or at the previously defined ''HOME'' position at the completion of this command. See the [[:commands:sethome|SETHOME]] command for how to change the ''HOME'' position.
