Type Of Command - Roland DXY-1300 Command Reference Manual

SUMMARY OF COMMANDS

1.1 Type of Command

There are two types of command in the DXY-1000 series, and they can be selected by DIP
switch.
•DXY-GL commands
These are one-letter character commands which, because of their mutual independence, rarely
influence each other and can be easily used to create drawings.
They can be executed by calling RD-GL I commands.
•RD-GL I commands
These are two-letter character commands that have been systematically designed to move the
plotter efficiently This command group possesses a high degree of flexibility because each of
its commands has the capacity to make a precise setting of an individual plotter movement.
Please read section " 2.2 DXY-GL Command Explanation" in Chapter 2 and section " 3.9 RD-GL
I Command Explanation" in Chapter 3 for the command functions of these two command
systems.
Incidentally, support is provided for those device control commands that are effective only with
a serial interface (RS-232C). Device control commands are valid in either the DXY-GL or RD-GL
I command systems Please refer to Chapter 5 " Information about interface" for detailed infor
mation on the device control commands.
