Response Description
Sets the origin for the pattern to the current position. Zeros the
R
pattern X and Y counter.
If b = 0 the stage returns to the origin after completing the final move
0 of the pattern (default setting upon power up). If b = 1 the stage will
stay at the final pattern position.
0 Defines the number n of X and number m of Y steps for the pattern.
n,m Reports number of X and Y steps.
R Move to next position in Rectangular Raster.
s Step number of scan.
R Moves to nth cell in X and mth cell in Y in rectangular raster.
0 Sets the step size in X and Y
x,y Reports step size in X and Y.
R Move to next position of Rectangular Snake.
s Step number of scan.
R Moves to nth cell in X and mth cell in Y in rectangular snake.

mode.
d Reports the disc diameter (in mm.)
Where d=diameter (in user units), 100 to 100000
r=number of revolutions, 1 to 1000
s=number of sides to polygon, 1 to 360
The stage then moves backwards to the top of the polygon and
proceeds to move around the side of the polygon sides until all sides
are done.
