6-12 Escape Sequences
If the System is paused and waiting to finish a previously-received ACL command, ESC.K
does not abort the paused command. In order to resume ACL processing the user must press
the PAUSE button again or send the
ESC.!4: command. There is no way to prevent the
paused command from being executed, other than to "power up" the machine, either by
resetting it, cycling the power switch, or sending the
ESC.!0: command. You can,
however, prevent any motion from occurring: send
ESC.!1: to put the machine in the
Stopped state. This automatically clears the Paused state, so the paused command executes
but does not produce any motion.
If a BC command has been executed but the Continuous Path motion has not yet begun, the
entire Continuous Path sequence is ignored. If the motion has already started it is allowed to
finish.
ESC.L Output Buffer Size
The Automove System waits until the buffer is empty, then transmits the current Logical
Buffer Size as established at power up or via the
ESC.@ command. The value sent will be
an integer in the range 1 through 256.
ESC.M [(<Turnaround Delay>) ; (<Output Trigger Character>) ;
(<Echo Terminate Character>) ; (<Output Terminator 1>) ;
(<Output Terminator 2>) ; (<Output Initiator Character>)] :
Set Output Mode
The DEC <Turnaround Delay> parameter establishes a delay, in milliseconds, to be
executed following each output request, before beginning to transmit the first character back
to the host. The default is zero.
The ASC <Output Trigger Character> parameter specifies an Output Trigger Character.
When the host requests output (via either an ACL command or an escape sequence), the
Automove System does not begin transmitting until the host sends the Output Trigger
Character; the System then executes the Turnaround Delay, if any, and begins transmission.
All other incoming characters between the output request and the Output Trigger Character
are ignored. The parameter defaults to zero, or no Output Trigger Character active. See the
table under
ESC.I.
The ASC <Echo Terminate Character> parameter establishes echo suppression. While
the Automove System is transmitting characters to the host, it ignores any incoming
characters until the Echo Terminate Character is seen. The parameter defaults to zero, or no
Echo Terminate Character active. See the table under
ESC.I.
The ASC <Output Terminator 1> parameter establishes the first character of the Output
Terminator sequence. This sequence of up to 2 characters is transmitted following any
output requested by the host; see the table under
ESC.I. This parameter defaults to 13, or
Carriage Return. If it is specified to be zero, no Output Terminator sequence is sent.
