default)

Remarks

This command causes PMAC to report the contents of the rotary motion program buffer for

the addressed coordinate system to the host. The contents are reported in ASCII text form. If

I9 is 0 or 2, the contents are reported in short form (e.g. LIN). If I9 is 1 or 3, the contents are

reported in long form (e.g. LINEAR).

If neither {start} nor {length} is specified, the entire contents of the buffer will be

reported. If {start} is specified, the reporting will begin {start} words from the

beginning of the buffer. If {length} is specified, the reporting will continue for

{length} words from the starting point.

If either {start}, {length}, or both, or just the comma, is included in the command, the

listing of the program will include the buffer address offsets with each line. Having a listing

with these offsets can be useful in conjunction with later use of the PC (Program-Counter)

and LIST PC commands.

If the loading of the rotary buffer has caused the buffer to “wrap around” and re-use the

beginning of the buffer, the listing will start relative to this new top of the buffer (even if

there are previously loaded, and still unexecuted, lines at the bottom of the buffer).
