How to use S/W flags for homing

[Loc_luu]

I appreciate any suggestions and helps from community for the following codes for homing 2 motors.  The current code used H/W limit sensors but I want to disable HW flag and use SW flags instead. I tried to set I197=1, I124=$20000, I7212=0, I7213=0, I113-32000 and I could not make it to work.  Thanks for the help.

For homing, without absolute feedback, the axis must be moved to a position where an input is triggered to indicate an absolute position.  Software alone cannot determine an absolute position.

With software, the home position can be set equal to the current position using the HMZ command.
