Acu-Rite CNC 3500i user manual Short Form Addressing, Command Abbreviation

11.4 Advanced Programming

LOOP instructs the control to execute the following blocks (N685) until it reaches an END command. The sequence is repeated nnnn times. The number of loops can be a variable assignment (LOOP #121).

GOTO

N698 GOTO nnnn

N699 ------------

GOTO is an instruction to continue program execution at the block specified (nnnn). You should not require this instruction in a user macro. It is intended for use in conjunction with the block skip symbol (\), as shown in the example. When block skip is ON, Block N698 is not executed. When block skip is OFF, Block N698 is executed and program execution jumps to the block specified.

When you program GOTO statements do not precede the block number with the character "N".

For example, GOTO 610 skips to block number N610.
