Natural Motion Circumnavigation to RBar RPO Sequence

The Natural Motion Circumnavigation (NMC) to RBar RPO sequence stops an NMC when it crosses the RBar; you can specify either +RBar or –Rbar. The sequence stops the relative motion at that point. If the NMC does not cross the RBar, the sequence issues an error message and terminates.

The following picture shows an NMC initiated near the –VBar and then stopped when it crosses the –Rbar.
