DESCRIPTION This command stops program execution until a user specified position is reached.
The program continues executing any subsequent commands only after axis
xx
has reached position nn .
Ensure that position nn is within the travel range of axis xx . The controller
cannot always detect if a value is outside the travel range of an axis to flag an
error, especially while making coordinated motion of multiple axes.
Wait commands are primarily intended for use in internal program execution or
in combination with the RQ command. If used in command mode, it is important
to note that input command processing is suspended until the wait condition has
been satisfied.
