RTR (Set Record Table Rate)
Description:
Sets the record table rate, i.e., the number of cycles to be
used in data recording operations. Settings larger than 1
make it possible to cover longer time periods.
Format:
RTR <RecordTableRate>
Arguments:
<RecordTableRate> is the record table rate to be used for
recording operations (unit: number of cycles), must be an
integer value larger than zero.
Response:
None
Notes:
The duration of the recording can be calculated as follows:
Rec. duration = cycle time of the servo loop * RTR value *
number of points
where
the cycle time of the servo loop for the C-863.12 is 50 µs
the number of points for the C-863.12 is 1024 (length of
data recorder table)
For further information, see "Data Recorder" (p. 74).
The record table rate set with RTR is saved in volatile
memory (RAM) only.
RTR? (Get Record Table Rate)
Description:
Queries the current record table rate, i.e., the number of
cycles used in data recording operations.
Format:
RTR?
Arguments:
None
