When power is applied to the servo controller the servos get a momentary glitch which makes them twitch, but they are not held in that position.
Then unless you send a servo command the servo will just stay where you put them ( by hand ).
In labview, servo commands go from 1 - 255. A servo position of 0 means go to the last commanded position. Once you send a servo command, the servo goes there and holds that position. If you don't issue another command for a few seconds, the servo will power down.
