Galil Motion Control CDS-3310 User Manual page 44

For specifying data for the A,B,C and D axes, commas are used to separate the axes. If no data is
specified for an axis, a comma is still needed as shown in the examples below. If no data is specified
for an axis, the previous value is maintained.
To view the current values for each command, type the command followed by a ? for each axis
requested.
The CDS-3310 provides an alternative method for specifying data. Here data is specified individually
using a single axis specifier such as A,B,C or D. An equals sign is used to assign data to that axis.
For example:
PRA=1000
ACB=200000
Instead of data, some commands request action to occur on an axis or group of axes. For example, ST
AB stops motion on both the A and B axes. Commas are not required in this case since the particular
axis is specified by the appropriate letter A,B,C or D. If no parameters follow the instruction, action
will take place on all axes. Here are some examples of syntax for requesting action:
BG A
BG B
BG ABCD
BG BD
BG
For systems with 5 or more axes, the axes are referred to as A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H.
BG ABCDEFGH
BG D
