Special Labels; Commenting Programs - Galil Motion Control DMC-1000 User Manual

The DMC-1000 has some special labels, which are used to define input interrupt subroutines, limit
switch subroutines, error handling subroutines, and command error subroutines. See section on
"Automatic Subroutines for Monitoring Conditions" on page 97.
#ININT
#LIMSWI
#POSERR
#MCTIME
#CMDERR
The DMC-1000 provides a command, NO, for commenting programs. This command allows the user
to include up to 37 characters on a single line after the NO command and can be used to include
comments from the programmer as in the following example:
#PATH

VMXY
NO VECTOR MOTION ON X AND Y
VS 10000
NO VECTOR SPEED IS 10000
VP -4000,0
NO BOTTOM LINE
CR 1500,270,-180
NO HALF CIRCLE MOTION
VP 0,3000
NO TOP LINE
CR 1500,90,-180
NO HALF CIRCLE MOTION

Note: The NO command is an actual controller command. Therefore, inclusion of the NO commands
