See GoTo instruction for additional examples.
GoTo
The GoTo instruction is used in conjunction with the Label: instruction to cause program flow to transfer to a specified location within a program. The destination label is allowed to be above or below the GoTo instruction within the same program. It is not possible to GoTo a label outside of the program containing the GoTo instruction, nor is it possible to use a GoTo/ Label: to exit out of a For Count/Next loop. In either of these conditions, a RedDot error will be generated.
The Label to which program flow transfers is a character string up to 50 characters in length and can be made up of any alphanumeric character. The label name must not start with a number, and must end with a colon character “:”.
Labels are not case sensitive.
Example:
Do While (TRUE)
If (DriveInput.1 = ON) Then
GoTo RunIndex1: ‘Go to RunIndex1 label
Else
GoTo RunIndex2: ‘Go to RunIndex2 label
EndIf
RunIndex1:‘ If Input.1 is on, resume here
Index.1.Initiate
GoTo EndLoop: ‘GoTo EndLoop label
RunIndex2:‘ If Input.1 is off, resume here
Index.2.Initiate
EndLoop:
Wait For Index.AnyCommandComplete
Loop

Motion Instructions
Dwell For Time
This motion instruction is used to pause program execution for a very precise amount of time. It operates as a motion instruction – similar to an index, home or jog. Like all other motion instructions it will not start until the preceding motion instruction has completed. A “Wait for Index.AnyCommandComplete” is not required. Likewise, any subsequent motion commands will wait and start after the dwell has completed. The total time required to complete a sequence of indexes and “Dwell For Time” instructions is extremely repeatable.
