19 Appendix I Revision History
0.1 9/22/84 First edition.
0.2 10/4/84 FS becomes FH. Add VM and true-speed vectors. Allow parameters to be
defaulted on many commands. MD's <new2> is never output before <new1>.
Improve speed resolution. Travel limits default per platen size.
0.3 10/26/84 All time parameters are in seconds (affects CZ, WA, WD). Add the AB
command, bit 2 of VM, and the <which> parameters of CD and MD. Allow TL
to exclude the carriage position or the Origin position from the new limits (this
also affects the GO TO ORIGIN and arrow buttons). The default Controller
travel limits are 32767 instead of 32766.
1.0 11/9/84 Exceptional conditions send "?" instead of "@". Add the appendices. Add
further description in Chapter 5. CZ has normal defaulting. CS no longer
clears the Paused state. SO and TL parameters are in physical motor counts
instead of Calibrated Units. Allow the carriage and Origin position to be
outside the travel limits. Eliminate Error 5. Add the
ESC.!: command.
1.1 2/5/85 First shipped with 1.2/1.3 ROMs. Add manual re-reference. Add AA, AR, FP,
OI, OL. Add the No Reference status bit. Whole number parameters are
rounded instead of truncated. FH does not reset the travel limits. OT waits
until the button is pushed. The Output Terminator sequence defaults to
CR-LF, not just CR.
1.2 3/8/85 First shipped with 1.3/1.4 ROMs. Add OF, OP, PE, RE, SP. Add Chapter 7:
Changing the Personality. Add Appendix H: Debugging. Add non-volatile
memory and personality parameters. MZ motion uses acceleration profiling.
Change CZ parameter <delay> to <rate> and add <accel>.
1.3 3/19/85 First shipped with 1.4/1.5 ROMs. Add BD, ED, XD, the Execute Download
Sequence front panel operation, ESC.S, and parameters 5, 6, and 7 on ESC.!.
1.4 6/21/85 First shipped with 1.6/1.5 ROMs. Add BP, CP, EP. Add ACL error 8. Add
"ESC.S4:". Add debug suggestions for downloading. Reformat entire
manual.
1.5 7/9/85 First shipped with 1.7/1.6 ROMs. Add personality parameters 29 through 33.
Allow any AC up to 65535. Allow any SR up to 65535 for vectors, 10000 for
arcs. AC and MD are diagonal measure, not long-axis.
1.6 8/15/85 First shipped with 1.8/1.7 ROMs. Add the MS command. Add negative
parameter on the PM command. Allow fractional degree arcs. EXTERNAL
MOTORS button does not do a RESET.
1.7 9/10/85 First shipped with 1.9/1.8 ROMs. Add personality parameters 34 and 35.
The VM command's No SR bit affects both acceleration and step rate, and af-
fects both arcs and vectors.
1.8 10/10/85 First shipped with 2.0/1.9 ROMs. Add Chapter 8. Add the AD, ON, TD, WN,
and XI commands. Add personality parameters 36 through 39. Front-panel
