Phidget BLDC Motor.lvlib:BLDCMotorSetTargetBrakingStrength.vi

When a motor is not being actively driven forward or reverse, you can choose if the motor will be allowed to freely turn, or will resist being turned.

A low BLDCMotorTargetBrakingStrength value corresponds to free wheeling, this will have the following effects:
- The motor will continue to rotate after the controller is no longer driving the motor (i.e. BLDCMotorVelocity is 0), due to inertia.
- The motor shaft will provide little resistance to being turned when it is stopped.
A higher BLDCMotorTargetBrakingStrength value will resist being turned, this will have the following effects:
- The motor will more stop more quickly if it is in motion and braking has been requested. It will fight against the rotation of the shaft.
Braking mode is enabled by setting the BLDCMotorVelocity to BLDCMotorMinVelocity
