Sequence
The resulting motion starts at the point A and moves toward points B, C, D, A. Suppose that we
interrogate the controller when the motion is halfway between the points A and B.
The value of _AV is 2000
The value of _CS is 0
_VPX and _VPY contain the absolute coordinate of the point A
Suppose that the interrogation is repeated at a point, halfway between the points C and D.
The value of _AV is 4000+1500
π
+2000=10,712
The value of _CS is 2
_VPX,_VPY contain the coordinates of the point C
C (-4000,3000)
R = 1500
B (-4000,0)
D (0,3000)
A (0,0)

Electronic Gearing
This mode allows multiple axes to be electronically geared to some master axes. With the DMC-1415
or DMC-1416, the master is always the auxiliary encoder. With the DMC-1425, the master will be the
