5.5.10. CAL (Load Calibration File)
The CAL command downloads axis calibration data from a file. This can be used to
dynamically down load calibration files during a user program. The calibration data does
not become active until the axis completes a home cycle.
SYNTAX:
CAL “filename”
“filename” The file containing the axis calibration data.
EXAMPLE:
CAL “B:\SCAN1.CAL”

5.5.11. CLOCKWISE and COUNTERCLOCKWISE CIRCULAR
INTERPOLATION
The clockwise (CW) or counterclockwise (CCW) circle commands initiate circular
contour-type motion (i.e., circles or arcs). The axis pair assigned to the circular motion
automatically adjusts its path and feed rate to maintain a circular contour path.
The UNIDEX 511 uses the contour plane's ramp time to ramp both of the axes up to
steady speed and then down to the target distance (the ramp can be linear or inverse_sine
type).
If the contour path is insufficient for ramping, the UNIDEX 511 automatically
converts it into linear motion.
SYNTAX:
For clockwise rotation:
CW_CIRCLE end1 end2 Cc1,c2 {Ffeedrate | FTfeedrate_time}
CW end1 end2 Cc1,c2 {Ffeedrate | FTfeedrate_time}
G2 end1 end2 Cc1,c2 {Ffeedrate | FTfeedrate_time}
CW_CIRCLE end1 end2 Ic1 Jc2
G2 end1 end2 Ic1 Jc2{Ffeedrate|FTfeedrate_time}
