AV
FUNCTION:
After Vector Distance
DESCRIPTION:
The AV command is a trippoint which is used to hold up execution of the next command
during coordinated moves such as VP,CR or LI. This trippoint occurs when the path
distance of a sequence reaches the specified value. The distance is measured from the
start of a coordinated move sequence or from the last AV command. The units of the
command are quadrature counts.
ARGUMENTS:
