FOLRD
Denominator of Follower-to-Master Ratio
Type
Following
Syntax
<a_><!>FOLRD<r>
Units
r = master distance in counts
Range
r = 1.00000 - 999,999,999 (scalable by SCLMAS)

The
command establishes the denominator of a ratio between follower and master travel. (Ratios are

distance. After scaling, the maximum magnitude of the ratio is 127 follower steps for every master step.
ON-THE-FLY CHANGES: You can change Following ratio on the fly (while motion is in progress) in
two ways. One way is to send an immediate command (

Example
(refer also to the FOLEN examples)
SCLD25000
; Set follower scaling factor to 25,000
SCLMAS4000
; Set master scaling factor to 4,000
SCALE1
; Enable scaling
FOLRN5
; Set ratio numerator to 5 (5 * 25,000 = 125,000)
FOLRD3
; Set ratio denominator to 3 (3 * 4,000 = 12,000)
; (Resulting ratio is 125 follower steps to every 12 master steps.)
