Detailed Descriptions of ACL Commands 3-49
Whenever any ACL error is logged, a "?" character is sent immediately to the host. This
may occur even before the Automove System has received all of the characters associated
with the bad command; for example, if the first of two parameters is out of range. See
Exceptional Conditions in Chapter 5.
OF Output Calibration Factors
The Automove System outputs the current values of the calibration factors. The X value is
output first, then a comma, then the Y value. The values will be in the range 0.0000 through
32767.9999.
OG Output Angle
The Automove System outputs to the host the current pattern rotation angle, in degrees. The
value will be in the range 0 through 359.9999.
The rotation angle is the sum of the <angle> parameters of all currently active patterns. See
the BP, EP, and CP commands.
OI Output Identification
The Automove System outputs an identification string of the form:
AUTOMOVE REV 3.22/3.15
This string includes the revision numbers of the ROMs for the two internal Automove
System microprocessors.
OL Output Travel Limits
The Automove System outputs the current values of the travel limits, in microsteps. (See the
TL command.) Four integer values are output, separated by commas. The values are in the
range 0 through 32767, and are in the same order as the TL command's parameters: <xmin>,
<ymin>, <xmax>, <ymax>.
This command can be used, for example, to see what default values the System assigns to the
travel limits at power up.
ON Output Digital Inputs State
The Automove System outputs the current values of the 8 Digital Inputs, in the form of a
decimal integer in the range 0 to 255. Each bit in the number represents one Digital Input: if
the Input is True the bit is 1; if False, 0.
(The ON command can also be used to test the value of an ACL variable. For more
information, please see the VT, V<, V=, and V> commands, as well as Chapter 10. The
discussion, below, assumes that the Digital Inputs are being sampled.)
