Type Mathematical operation
Syntax expression1 AND expression2
Description The AND operator performs the logical AND function on the corresponding
bits of the integer parts of two valid BASIC expressions.
The logical AND function between two bits is defined as follows:
0 AND 0 = 0
0 AND 1 = 0
1 AND 0 = 0
1 AND 1 = 1
Arguments • expression1
Any valid BASIC expression.
• expression2
Any valid BASIC expression.
Example VR(0) = 10 AND (2.1*9)
The parentheses are evaluated first, but only the integer part of the result, 18,
is used for the AND operation. Therefore, this expression is equivalent to the
following:
VR(0) = 10 AND 18
The AND is a bit operator and so the binary action is as follows:
01010 AND 10010 = 00010
Therefore, VR(0) will contain the value 2.
Example IF MPOS AXIS(0) > 0 AND MPOS AXIS(1) > 0 THEN GOTO cycle1
If measured positions MPOS of both axis 1 and axis 2 are greater than zero,
program execution continues at label cycle1. Otherwise, program execution
continues with the next statement.

Type I/O command
Syntax AOUT(analogue_chan)
Description The AOUT command sets the output value of the analogue output channels
that are provided by connecting GRT1-ML2 Slice Coupler, Phoenix IL MII BK
Slice Coupler, or JEPMC-AN2910 modules on the MECHATROLINK-II bus.
The range of the value set is [-32000, 32000] for full output range. The output
range depends on the analogue unit used and can be one of the following: [-
10V, 10V], [0V, 10V] or [0V, 5V] for voltage and [0mA, 20mA] or [4mA, 20mA]
for current output.
Arguments • analogue_chan.
Analogue output channel number 0.31
Example No example.

Type Mathematical function
Syntax ASIN(expression)
Description The ASIN function returns the arc-sine of the argument. The argument must
have a value between -1 and 1. The result in radians is between -PI/2 and PI/
2. Input values outside this range return 0.
Arguments • expression
Any valid BASIC expression.
Example >> PRINT ASIN(-1)
-1.5708

Type Mathematical function
Syntax ATAN(expression)
Description The ATAN function returns the arc-tangent of the argument. expression can
have any value. The result is in radians and is between -PI/2 and PI/2.
