The resulting motion starts at the point A and moves toward points B, C, D, A. Suppose that we interrogate the controller when the motion is halfway between the points A and B.

The value of _AV is 2000 The value of _CS is 0

_VPX and _VPY contain the absolute coordinate of the point A

Suppose that the interrogation is repeated at a point, halfway between the points C and D. The value of _AV is 4000+1500π+2000=10,712

The value of _CS is 2

_VPX,_VPY contain the coordinates of the point C

C (-4000,3000)D (0,3000)

R = 1500

B (-4000,0)

A (0,0)

Electronic Gearing

This mode allows up to 4 axes to be electronically geared to some master axes. The masters may rotate in both directions and the geared axes will follow at the specified gear ratio. The gear ratio may be different for each axis and changed during motion.

The command GAXYZW specifies the master axes. GR x,y,z,w specifies the gear ratios for the slaves where the ratio may be a number between +/-127.9999 with a fractional resolution of .0001.
