NI — Set step (curvi-linear distance)
between synchronisation pulses
Usage
IMM
PGM
MIP
Syntax
NInn
or
NI?
Parameters
Description
nn
[long]
— New value of step between pulses.
?
— Read step.
Range
nn
—
≥
2 * Max {X and Y axis encoder resolution}.
Units
nn
— Current unit.
Defaults
nn
0 or missing: NO pulse is generated.
Out of range: Error C.
Description
This command sets the value of step between pulses to generate between
the elements defined by NB and NE. If
nn
is default or zero, the generation
of pulses of synchronisation is disabled.
This value of NI will be reexamined in ET command.
NOTE
Because NI and NN are complement commands, the last entered NI com-
mand value replaces all of precedently entered NI or NN commands’ one.
Returns
If the sign
“?”
takes place of the
nn
value, this command reportes the step
between synchronisation pulses to generate. 0 means that no pulse is gen-
erated.
Errors
A
—
Unknown message code.
B
—
Incorrect axis number.
C
—
Parameter out of limits.
D
—
Unauthorized execution.
Rel. Commands
NB
—
Set trajectory element where the generation of pulses starts.
NE
—
Set trajectory element where the generation of pulses ends.
NN
—
Set number of synchronisation pulses to generate.
Example
NI0.5
|
Set step between pulses to 0.5 unit.
NI?
|
Read number of pulses to generate.
NI0.5
|
Controller tells the value.
