The Commander core has a built-in move called a Z-Move.  When the ZMOVE[axis][dir] command is sent, the motor will move in the direction commanded at HSPD until such time as the number of Z-index pulses are detected, as set by the ZCNT[axis]=[0-15] command.

The ZCNT[axis] command also works with any homing operation that uses the Z-index pulses as part of the homing operation to set the number of Z-index pulses that need to be detected. The range for ZCNT[axis] is 0-15. The number of Z-index pulses to be detected will be the number set plus one.  Example: 0 = stop at the first Z-index detection, 1 = stop at the second Z-index detection, 15 = stop at the 16th Z-index detection.
