can be directly driven by the SCP. See Figure 29 for a connection diagram that also shows the required user-supplied output protection components.

<ch_list> specifies the channels that will control stepper motors. The channels referenced can be on more than one E1538. The channels must be in ascending order. Based on the <mode> parameter, the channels will be arranged into adjacent groups of 2 ("...C2"), or 4 ("...C4") channels. These groups can not be split across SCPs.

The algorithm can send new position values to the first channel in a motor-group. The algorithm will read the current position value from the second channel in the motor-group. Related error messages: 3115, "Channels specified are not in ascending order."

3116, "Multiple channels specified are not grouped correctly." 3117, "Grouped channels are not adjacent."

Comments This command is coupled with the SOURce:FM command. If the FM state is enabled then the PULM state is disabled. If the PULM state is enabled then the FM state is disabled. If both the FM and the PULM states are disabled then the PULSe channel is in the single pulse mode.

If the channels specified are not on a Frequency/Totalize SCP, an error will be generated.
