Conditional Jumps

The DMC-18x2 provides Conditional Jump (JP) and Conditional Jump to Subroutine (JS) instructions
for branching to a new program location based on a specified condition. The conditional jump
determines if a condition is satisfied and then branches to a new location or subroutine. Unlike event
triggers, the conditional jump instruction does not halt the program sequence. Conditional jumps are
useful for testing events in real-time. They allow the DMC-18x2 to make decisions without a host
computer. For example, the DMC-18x2 can decide between two motion profiles based on the state of
an input line.
Command Format - JP and JS
FORMAT:
JS destination, logical condition
JP destination, logical condition
The destination is a program line number or label where the program sequencer will jump if the
specified condition is satisfied. Note that the line number of the first line of program memory is 0.
The comma designates "IF". The logical condition tests two operands with logical operators.
Logical operators:
OPERATOR
<
>
=
<=
>=
<>
Conditional Statements
The conditional statement is satisfied if it evaluates to any value other than zero. The conditional
statement can be any valid DMC-18x2 numeric operand, including variables, array elements, numeric
