DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
The MCW command selects the Cam table and specifies the starting point used when the cam

0 to 65535 are valid. For the table input parameter, valid values and their meanings are:

NOTE: The MCW(table, point) command is mandatory when using cam mode (MC)
It should be called after the creation of cam tables but before the G command. If
cam tables already exist in memory from a power-on, then MCW should be called
at least once before the G command to enter cam mode. Refer to the following
example.
