USA57 Revision

1.2

Command:

j Microstep

Resolution

Type:

System Control Command

Syntax: j

Range:

n = 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 or 256 microsteps per full step

Initial Value:

256 microsteps per full step

Description:

Sets the number of microsteps per full motor step

(i.e. 200 step/rev * 256 microsteps = 51200 steps per rev)

Example:

256R<CR>

“/”

Is the start character. Lets Accuriss know that a command string will follow.

“1”

Is the device address, (this is preset at the factory).

“j256”

Informs Accuriss to set 256 microsteps per full step

“R”

Instructs Accuriss to run the command(s) that are in the communication buffer.

“<CR>” Tells Accuriss that the command string is complete and causes the command to

be executed since an R is included in the command string.
