SP
FUNCTION: Speed
DESCRIPTION:
This command sets the slew speed of any or all axes for independent moves.
Note: Negative values will be interpreted as the absolute value.
ARGUMENTS: SP n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n or SPA=n where
n is an unsigned even number in the range 0 to 22,000,000 for servo motors. The units are
encoder counts per second.
OR
n is an unsigned number in the range 0 to 6,000,000 for stepper motors
n = ? Returns the speed for the specified axis.

EXAMPLES:
PR 2000,3000,4000,5000 Specify a,b,c,d parameter
SP 5000,6000,7000,8000 Specify a,b,c,d speeds
BG Begin motion of all axes
Note: For vector moves, use the vector speed command (VS) to change the speed. SP is not a "mode" of
motion like JOG (JG).
