The two PCX screens that show this example are shown in Figure 56 and Figure 57. These
demonstrate how easily a motion program can be set up when using the PCX software. The user
must first choose a program number between 0 and 63. Then the user must set the program
count. The program count determines how many times the program will be executed. If the
program number is set equal to zero, the program will not be executed; and if the program
number is set equal to 65535, the program will be executed indefinitely. For this example, the
program will be executed 10 times. Everything within Program 1 will repeat 10 times including
Program 2.

Program 2 is called from within Program 1 from step 3 of Program 1.

NOTE:
COMMANDS "T", "S", and "R" are not valid with a PCM-1.
The program sequence is stored in non-volatile memory under PROGRAM 1 and 2;
shown in the upper left portion of the menu screen. After PROGRAM 1 is executed
ten times (PROGRAM COUNT = 10), the controller will wait for the next command.
