Chapter 5 Command Basics • 56 USER MANUAL
To view the current values for each command, type the command followed by a ? for each axis
requested.
PR 1000 Specify X only as 1000
PR ,2000 Specify Y only as 2000
PR ,,3000 Specify Z only as 3000
PR ,,,4000 Specify W only as 4000
PR 2000, 4000,6000, 8000 Specify X Y Z and W
PR ,8000,,9000 Specify Y and W only
PR ?,?,?,? Request X,Y,Z,W values
PR ,? Request Y value only
The DMC-13X8 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 Specify a position relative movement for the X axis of 1000
ACY=200000 Specify acceleration for the Y axis as 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 Begin X only
BG Y Begin Y only
BG XYZW Begin all axes
BG YW Begin Y and W only
BG Begin all axes
Coordinated Motion with more than 1 axis
When requesting action for coordinated motion, the letter S or T is used to specify the coordinated
motion. This allows for coordinated motion to be setup for two separate coordinate systems. Refer to
the CA command in the Command Reference for more information on specifying a coordinate system.
For example:
BG S Begin coordinated sequence on S coordinate system.
BG TW Begin coordinated sequence on T coordinate system and W axis
