SP
FUNCTION:
Speed
DESCRIPTION:
This command sets the slew speed of any or all axes for independent moves, or it will return
the previously set value. The parameters input will be rounded down to the nearest
factor of 2 and the units of the parameter are in counts per second. Note: Negative
values will be interpreted as the absolute value.
ARGUMENTS:
SP x,y,z,w SPX=x SP a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h where
x,y,z,w or a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h are unsigned numbers in the range 0 to 8,000,000 for servo
motors OR
x,y,z,w or a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h are unsigned numbers in the range 0 to 2,000,000 for stepper
motors
x,y,z,w or a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h are unsigned numbers in the range 0 to 3,000,000 for stepper
motors
"?" returns the speed for the specified axis.

Note: For vector moves, use the vector speed command (VS) to change the speed. SP is not a "mode"
of motion like JOG (JG).
