3-54 Detailed Descriptions of ACL Commands
If the <suppress term> parameter is present and is nonzero then the Output Terminator
sequence is suppressed (for this particular OU command only). The Output Terminator
defaults to an ASCII Carriage Return and Linefeed; these are normally sent after each ACL
output. <suppress term> also suppresses any Echo Terminator wait. See the
ESC.M
command in Chapter 6.
Any ASCII control character can be included in the string via the following technique: the
ASCII carat ("^"), followed by some other ASCII character, generates the "control
equivalent" of the second character. For example, ^M generates a Carriage Return and ^L
generates a Formfeed. The ASCII Escape character can be generated via ^[. To include a
carat in the string, simply put in two carats, ^^.
Any actual control characters (Carriage Return, Linefeed, etc.) appearing literally between
the delimiters are faithfully recorded and sent back to the host. Exceptions: the NULL
character (decimal value 0) is completely ignored by the Automove System; and the Escape
character (decimal value 27) is treated as part of an Automove escape sequence, legal or
otherwise.
Warning: Easymove interprets the question mark character (?) in the OU command as an
error report from the Automove System and attempts to display an error message.
OV <varid> [, <suppress term> ] Output Variable
The Automove System outputs to the host computer the contents of the variable whose i.d. is
given by <varid>. The value is in the range -32768.0000 through 32767.9999.
If the <suppress term> parameter is present and is nonzero then the Output Terminator
sequence is suppressed (for this particular OV command only). The Output Terminator
defaults to an ASCII Carriage Return and Linefeed; these are normally sent after each ACL
output. <suppress term> also suppresses any Echo Terminator wait. See the
ESC.M
command in Chapter 6.
For more information about ACL variables please see Chapter 10.
OX Output AP value
This command will output the currently selected AP mode. This allows the variable “shadow
register” in ACL programs to be eliminated.
OZ Output Z Position
The Automove System outputs to the host the current value of the Z axis position counter;
this will be an integer in the range 0 through M - 1, where M is the current Z axis modulus.
With the power up default modulus, the range of values is 0 through 32766. See the CZ,
AZ, and MZ commands.
The Position Change status bit is cleared.
