Query of Parameters
Most commands used to set parameter values can be queried for the current values using the question-
mark syntax:
CMND X? Y? Z? F?
The controller will respond with
CMND
’s current settings, e.g.
:A X=0 Y=1 Z=10 F=2
This feature is most useful when using a terminal program to change controller parameters to verify that
you have made the changes that you think you did, or to check present settings.
TG-1000 and MS-2000’s instruction set differences
This section is intended to quickly bring the users up to speed on the major differences in the serial
commands between TG-1000 and MS-2000 controller.
Where possible the TG-1000 commands were kept close to the MS-2000 controller commands.
The Tiger reply syntax, described above, was added to Tiger starting in COMM card firmware v1.92.
Commands where the axis letter is specified work just like MS-2000, e.g.
MOVE
,
MOVREL
, and
WHERE
.
For example, X and Y axis reside on card with address “1”, and Z resides on card with address “2”. When
M X=## Y=### Z=###
is issued the COMM card in TG-1000 controller parses the command, and
redirects the command to the appropriate card automatically. These commands are called Axis-Specific
Commands. A card address should not be specified with an Axis-Specific command, otherwise
undefined behavior may result from any mismatch between the address specified and the card with
the axis as determined by the COMM card.
The TG-1000 is able to support multiple add-ons like CRISP and Piezo stages whereas MS-2000 was only
able to support one, so we were forced to alter the command set to handle commands which are
intended for a certain card but do not contain the axis name. In those cases, the user must specify
which card the command is intended for, and the COMM card will relay the command appropriately.
For example, the
SS Z
command saves the settings into non-volatile memory, but the user may not
want all the settings on all the cards to be saved. For the TG-1000 the user has to add the card address
in front of the command to make it work. For example, if the card that drives XY axis has the address
“1”, to only save setting on this card user should issue
1SS Z
. These commands are called Card-
Addressed Commands .
