Overview
DMC-1000/1500 Command Reference
When a master reset occurs, the controller will always reset all setup parameters to their default values
and the non-volatile memory is cleared to the factory state. A master reset is executed by the
command, <ctrl R> <ctrl S> <Return> OR by powering up or resetting the controller with the MRST
jumper or dip switch on.
For example, the command KD is used to set the Derivative Constant for each axis. The default value
for the derivative constant is 64. If this parameter is not set by using the command, KD, the controller
will automatically set this value to 64 for each axis. If the Derivative Constant is changed but not
saved in non-volatile memory, the default value of 64 will be used if the controller is reset or upon
power up of the controller. If this value is set and saved in non-volatile memory, it will be restored
upon reset until a master reset is given to the controller.
The default format describes the format for numerical values which are returned when the command is
interrogated. The format value represents the number of digits before and after the decimal point.
