Appendix A, Command Function Reference
(continued)
Circle 3 Point
Click
Function
Double-click
address and
select from drop-
down menu
Used in tandem with the Circle Run command when a circle is too large to fit in the Secondary View screen
(in the CCD Mode). A larger circle can be created by entering three (3) Circle 3 Point commands, one for
each “corner” of the circle. The system uses the three Circle 3 Point commands to calculate the entire
circumference of the circle. The Circle Run command dictates where the circle starts and how many degrees
the circle will be. The correct sequence of commands is: three (3)Circle 3 Point commands followed by one
(1) Circle Run command.
Circle Run
Click
Function
Double-click
address and
select from drop-
down menu
Used in tandem with the Circle 3 Point command when a circle is too large to fit in the Secondary View
screen (in the CCD Mode), adjusts the Start Angle and Total Degrees of the large circle.
Parameter
Description
Start Angle
The angle (in degrees) from the center of the circle where the start of the circle begins. The
default of 0 degrees equates to the 3:00 position.
Default: 0 (degrees)
Range: 0 to 360
NOTES:
• You can enter a negative value. For example, if you enter -90, the circle start point will be
the 12:00 position.
• You can also enter a value greater than 360, but if you do so, the robot compensates for
the larger value. For example, if you enter 400, the circle start point will begin at the 40
degree mark.
Total Degree
The angle (in degrees) after the Start Angle value at which dispensing stops.
Default: 0 (degrees)
To dispense in a counterclockwise direction, enter a negative value.
NOTE:
You can enter a value greater than 360. For example, if you enter 720, the Z axis
head will loop twice.
