SYNTAX xxSNnn or xxSN?
PARAMETERS
Description xx [ int ] - axis number
nn [ int ] - displacement units
Range xx - 1 to MAX AXES
nn - 0 to 10 where
0 = encoder count 6 = micro-inches
1 = motor step 7 = degree
2 = millimeter 8 = gradient
3 = micrometer 9 = radian
4 = inches 10 = milliradian
5 = milli-inches 11 = microradian
or ? to read present setting
Units xx - none
nn - none
Defaults xx missing: error 37, AXIS NUMBER MISSING
out of range: error 9, AXIS NUMBER OUT OF RANGE
nn missing: error 38, COMMAND PARAMETER MISSING
out of range: error xx2, PARAMETER OUT OF RANGE
DESCRIPTION This command is used to set the displacement units for the for axis xx.
Note:
The unit of measure as used with this controller is intended as a label only. It is
the user’s responsibility to convert and resend all affected parameters (e.g.,
velocity, acceleration, etc…) when switching from one unit of measure to
another.
RETURNS If the “?” sign takes the place of nn value, this command reports the current
setting
REL. COMMANDS FR - set full-step resolution
SU - set encoder resolution
EXAMPLE 2SN | read displacement unit setting of axis # 2
2 | controller returns a value 2 (millimeter) for axis #2
2SN 0 | set displacement unit to 0 (encoder count) for axis #2
