Acu-Rite CNC 3500i user manual Repeat Blocks, Block Description, 145

Repeat Blocks

The Repeat command allows a series of previously programmed blocks to be repeated one time. Wherever it is used, the repeated blocks will be processed, just as if they were written in the program at that point. For more advanced features including repeating more than once, use the Loop command as an alternative. The Loop command requires the use of a sub-program, whereas the Repeat command does not. Refer to Section 7.4 sub-programs for information on the Loop command.

Conversational format: Repeat

Field	Code	Description
