Attention: Pertains to servo motor use.
Attention: Pertains to stepper motor use.
Command Descriptions
Each executable instruction is listed in the following section in alphabetical order. Below is a
description of the information which is provided for each command.
The two-letter Opcode for each instruction is placed in the upper right corner.
Axes Arguments
Some commands require the user to identify the specific axes to be affected. These commands are
followed by uppercase X,Y,Z, W or A,B,C,D,E,F,G and H. No commas are needed and the order of
axes is not important. Do not insert any spaces prior to any command. For example, STX; AMX is
invalid because there is a space after the semicolon. When no argument is given, the command is
executed for all axes.
Valid XYZW syntax
SH X
Servo Here, X only
SH XYW
Servo Here, X,Y and W axes
SH XZW
Servo Here, X,Z and W axes
SH XYZW
Servo Here, X,Y,Z and W axes
SH BCAD
Servo Here, A,B,C and D axes (Note: ABCD IS the same as XYZW)
SH ADEG
Servo Here, A,D,E and G axes (Note: AD is the same as XW)
SH H
Servo Here, H axis only
SH
Servo Here, all axes
Parameter Arguments
Some commands require numerical arguments to be specified following the instruction. In the
argument description, these commands are followed by lower case x,y,z,w or a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h where the
lowercase letter represents the value. Values may be specified for any axis separately or any
combination of axes. The argument for each axis is separated by commas. Examples of valid syntax
are listed below.
Valid x,y,z,w syntax
AC x
Specify argument for x axis only
AC x,y
Specify x and y only
AC x,,z
Specify x and z only
AC x,y,z,w
Specify x,y,z,w
AC a,b,c,d
Specify arguments for a,b,c,d (Note: a,b,c,d are the same as x,y,z,w)
AC ,b,,,e
Specify b and e axis only (Note: b and y axis are the same)
AC ,,,e,f
Specify e and f (Note: e and z axis are the same)
Where x,y,z,w and a,b,c,d,e,f,g and h are replaced by actual values.
