specified for an axis, the previous value is maintained. The space between the data and instruction
is optional.
To view the current values for each command, type the command followed by a ? for each axis
requested.
The DMC-1600 provides an alternative method for specifying data. Here data is specified
individually using a single axis specifier such as X,Y,Z or W. An equals sign is used to assign
data to that axis. For example:
PRX=1000
ACY=200000
Instead of data, some commands request action to occur on an axis or group of axes. For example,
ST XY stops motion on both the X and Y axes. Commas are not required in this case since the
particular axis is specified by the appropriate letter X Y Z or W. If no parameters follow the
instruction, action will take place on all axes. Here are some examples of syntax for requesting
action:
BG X
BG Y
BG XYZW
BG YW
BG
BG ABCDEFGH
BG D
Coordinated Motion with more than 1 axis
When requesting action for coordinated motion, the letter S is used to specify the coordinated
motion. For example:
BG S
BG SW
