$A | Length Threshold A |
$A<CR> Read
Response Format: <N>
$A<N><CR> Set
<N> is an integer specifying the number of User Scaleable Pulses for Length Threshold A. The Length Threshold A output will be asserted when this number of pulses has been output, and will be reset when the Index Pulse triggers. This output can be used to perform some operation prior to a cut.
Range: 0 to 999,999,999
Example:
Assume that the User Scaleable Pulse Rate (configurable with the P command) has been set to 1000 pulses/foot, and Index Pulse is configured to output every 200 ft.
To assert the Length Threshold A output after 180 ft:
!= User Scaleable Pulse Rate (pulses/ft) x Length Threshold A setting (ft)
!= (1,000 pulses/ft) x 180 ft = 180,000 pulses
The command to set the correct value is $A180000<CR>
The output will clear when the length reaches 200ft, and the Index Pulse triggers. See the Index Pulse & Length Thresholds section for timing details.
$B | Length Threshold B |
$B<CR> Read
Response Format: <N>
$B<N><CR> Set
<N> is an integer specifying the number of User Scaleable Pulses for Length Threshold B. The Length Threshold B output will be asserted when this number of pulses has been output, and will be reset when the Index Pulse triggers. This output can be used to perform some operation prior to a cut.
Range: 0 to 999,999,999
Example:
Assume that the User Scaleable Pulse Rate (configurable with the P command) has been set to 1000 pulses/foot, and Index Pulse is configured to output every 200 ft.
To assert the Length Threshold B output after 190 ft:
!= User Scaleable Pulse Rate (pulses/ft) x Length Threshold A setting (ft)
!= (1,000 pulses/ft) x 190 ft = 190,000 pulses
The command to set the correct value is $B190000<CR>
