Natural Motion Circumnavigation to VBar RPO Sequence

The Natural Motion Circumnavigation (NMC) to VBar RPO sequence stops an NMC when it crosses the VBar; you can specify either +VBar or –Vbar. The sequence stops the relative motion at that point. If the NMC does not cross the VBar, 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 +VBar.
