10 RTC6 Commands

innovators for industry
With several “delayed short list commands” in a
sequence of short list commands, only the last
“delayed” command can actually be executed
delayed. All others before that are executed
immediately (yet before a scanner delay).
When you sequence the commands, make sure to
place the most important “delayed” command at the
end, especially within a Polyline.
Alternatively, you can also explicitly initiate
processing of the scanner delay (for example, by
list_nop), so that all subsequent short list commands
in fact always execute “delayed”.
If a normal list command succeeds more than two
short list commands, then the normal list command
is executed delayed by a 10 µs clock cycle.
Multiple List Commands
A multiple list command has multiple components
that accordingly occupy multiple list storage
positions. The initial components are always
undelayed short list commands. The final component
is always a short, normal or variable list command. All
components immediately execute successively. Any
still-pending delayed short list commands execute
first. The RTC6 command set currently only contains
two-component multiple list commands, for
example, wait_for_encoder_in_range or
set_pixel_line_3d.
10.1.2 Compatibility
For RTC6 customers who previously used the RTC4
(RTC5), the command descriptions (in Chapter 10.2
”RTC6 Command Set”, page 315) note in each
command’s “RTC4RTC6” (”RTC5RTC6”) section:
• to what extent a command differs from that of
the RTC4 (RTC5),
• whether the command is new to the command
set,
• whether and how parameter values are converted
in RTC4 Compatibility Mode
(RTC5 Compatibility Mode).
Some RTC3/RTC4 commands and a few RTC2
commands emulated by the RTC3/RTC4 are not
supported by the RTC6, see Chapter 10.3
”Unsupported RTC4/RTC5 Commands”, page 864.
