Motion Coordinator Technical Reference Manual
Trio BASIC Commands 8-103
System Parameters and Commands
HALT
Type:
System Command
Description:
Halts execution of all running programs. The STOP command will stop a specific pro-
gram.
Example:
HALT ‘ Stop ALL programs
or
STOP “main”
‘ Stop only the program called ‘MAIN’
Note:
HALT does not stop any motion. Currently executing, or buffered moves will con-
tinue unless they are terminated with a
CANCEL or RAPIDSTOP command.
INITIALISE
Type:
System Command.
Description:
Sets all axis, system and process parameters to their default values. The parame-
ters are also reset each time the controller is powered up, or when an
EX (software
reset) command is performed. When using Motion Perfect a “Reset the controller..”
under the “Controller” menu performs the equivalent of an
EX command
LAST_AXIS
Type:
System Parameter (Read Only)
Description:
In order to maximise the processor time available to BASIC, the Motion Coordinator
keeps a record of the highest axis number that is in use. This axis number is held in
the system parameter
LAST_AXIS. Axes higher than LAST_AXIS are not processed.
LAST_AXIS is set automatically by the system software when an axis command is
used.
