‘V’ – Position Operational Envelope
Syntax:
Vs,[x

],[y

]<>
or
Vs<> to read back the current limits
Description:
The position operational envelope is an area defined by X, Y, Z minimum and
maximum limits. It provides the user with a means of specifying the location of
the limits and notifies the user when the limits have been exceeded.
Purpose:
This command establishes the position operational envelope limits. If the X, Y, Z
output measurements are outside the limits defined by this command, the system
will produce a BIT error ‘x’. The specific parameters are:
s
the number of the station whose position limits is to be returned
or established.
x
max
the maximum x-coordinate for the position operational envelope.
y
max
the maximum y-coordinate for the position operational envelope.
z
max
the maximum z-coordinate for the position operational envelope.
x
min
the minimum x-coordinate for the position operational envelope.
y
min
the minimum y-coordinate for the position operational envelope.
z
min
the minimum z-coordinate for the position operational envelope.

Default:

200,200,200,-200,-200,-200 (in centimeters)
Example:
If the user wanted to reduce the position operation envelope to a 30” cube, the
following command should be sent:
V1,30,30,30,-30,-30,-30<>
The system will now output an error ‘x’ any time the 30-inch limit is exceeded in
any of the axis for station 1.
