# How do I program soft stops on a Flex monitor using the SmartPlex app?
## Learn how to program directional soft stops on your Flex Monitor using the TFT SmartPlex App. This guide shows you how to set precise limits for movement in any direction—left, right, up, or down—directly from the app interface.
Programming soft stops on your Flex Monitor via the TFT SmartPlex App allows you to define movement limits in specific directions. Follow these steps to set up and activate soft stops through the monitor interface.
### Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Go to the Monitor Hub Page
- Ensure your Flex Monitor is connected.
- Open the Monitor Hub on the SmartPlex App.
2. Access the Program Soft Stop Mode
- Tap Program Monitor.
- Scroll down and select Program Soft Stops.
3. Set the Desired Position
- Manually move the monitor to the point where you want the soft stop.
- Press Store to lock that position.
4. Select Direction(s) for the Stop
- Choose to apply the soft stop on the X-Axis, Y-Axis, or both.
- In the video example, only the negative X-Axis was selected.
5. Exit Programming Mode
- Tap Done to complete the process.
6. Test the Soft Stop
- Navigate back to Operator Monitor via the Monitor Hub.
- Move the monitor around—you'll see it stop at the positions you've set.
### Notes:
