The DMC-13X8 provides an alternative method for specifying data. Here data is specified individually using a single axis specifier such as X,Y,Z or W. An equals sign is used to assign data to that axis. For example:

PRX=1000

Specify a position relative movement for the X axis of 1000

ACY=200000

Specify acceleration for the Y axis as 200000

Instead of data, some commands request action to occur on an axis or group of axes. For example, ST XY stops motion on both the X and Y axes. Commas are not required in this case since the particular axis is specified by the appropriate letter X Y Z or W. If no parameters follow the instruction, action will take place on all axes. Here are some examples of syntax for requesting action:

BG X

Begin X only

BG Y

Begin Y only

BG XYZW

Begin all axes

BG YW

Begin Y and W only

BG

Begin all axes

Coordinated Motion with more than 1 axis

When requesting action for coordinated motion, the letter S or T is used to specify the coordinated motion. This allows for coordinated motion to be setup for two separate coordinate systems. Refer to the CA command in the Command Reference for more information on specifying a coordinate system. For example:

BG S

Begin coordinated sequence on S coordinate system.

BG TW

Begin coordinated sequence on T coordinate system and W axis
