VS
FUNCTION:
Vector Speed
DESCRIPTION:
The VS command specifies the speed of the vector in a coordinated motion sequence in either
the LM or VM modes. The parameter input is rounded down to the nearest factor of 2.
The units are counts per second. VS may be changed during motion.
Vector Speed can be calculated by taking the square root of the sum of the squared values of
speed for each axis specified for vector or linear interpolated motion.
ARGUMENTS:
VS n
where
n specifies the rate
n is an unsigned number in the range 0 to 8,000,000 decimal for servo motors and 0 to
8,000,000 decimal for stepper motors Resolution is 2.
VS ? returns the vector speed.
