Increment 1 DA=48 Time=4 DT=2
Increment 2 DA=240 Time=8 DT=3
Increment 3 DA=48 Time=16 DT=4
When the controller receives the command to generate a trajectory along these points, it interpolates
linearly between the points. The resulting interpolated points include the position 12 at 1 msec,
position 24 at 2 msec, etc.
The programmed commands to specify the above example are:

Additional Commands
The command, WC, is used as a trip point "When Complete". This allows the DMC-2x00 to use the
next increment only when it is finished with the previous one. Zero parameters for DT followed by
zero parameters for CD exit the contour mode.
If no new data record is found and the controller is still in the contour mode, the controller waits for
new data. No new motion commands are generated while waiting. If bad data is received, the
controller responds with a ?.
