FUNCTION: Vector Acceleration
DESCRIPTION:
This command sets the acceleration rate of the vector in a coordinated motion sequence.
ARGUMENTS: VA n where
n is an unsigned integer in the range 1024 to 68,431,360. The parameter input will be
rounded down to the nearest factor of 1024. The units of the parameter is counts per
second squared.
n = ? Returns the value of the vector acceleration for the coordinate plane.
