def move_time(move, eres):
    """ Calculates the time it takes to do a move.

    Calculates how long it will take to complete a move of the motor. It
    is assumed that the motor will decerate to a stop for the end of the
    move as opposed to keep moving at velocity.

    Everything is in motor units which are encoder counts for distance,
    pitches/s for velocity, and pitches/s^2 for acceleration.

    Parameters
    ----------
    move : dict
        Contains the move parameters in its fields: acceleration ('A'),
        deceleration ('AD' with 0 meaning the value of the acceleration
        is used), velocity ('V'), and the distance/position ('D').
    eres : int
        Encoder resolution.

    Returns
    -------
    time : float
        Time the move will take in seconds.
