Command Summary - Automatic Data Capture
Command Description
RA n[],m[],o[],p[]
Selects up to four arrays for data capture. The arrays must be defined
with the DM command.
RD type1,type2,type3,type4
Selects the type of data to be recorded, where type1, type2, type3, and
type 4 represent the various types of data (see table below). The order
of data type is important and corresponds with the order of n,m,o,p
arrays in the RA command.
RC n,m
The RC command begins data collection. Sets data capture time
interval where n is an integer between 1 and 8 and designates 2
n
msec
between data. m is optional and specifies the number of elements to
be captured. If m is not defined, the number of elements defaults to
the smallest array defined by DM. When m is a negative number, the
recording is done continuously in a circular manner. _RD is the
recording pointer and indicates the address of the next array element.
n=0 stops recording.
RC?
Returns a 0 or 1 where, 0 denotes not recording, 1 specifies recording
in progress
Data Types for Recording:
Data Type Description
_DEA 2nd encoder position (dual encoder)
_TPA Encoder position
_TEA Position error
_SHA Commanded position
_RLA Latched position
_TI Inputs
_OP Output
_TSA Switches (only bit 0-4 valid)
_SCA Stop code
_NOA Status bits
_TTA Torque (reports digital value +/-8097)
NOTE: B, C, D, E, F, G, or H may replace A for capturing data on other axes.
Operand Summary - Automatic Data Capture
_RC Returns a 0 or 1 where, 0 denotes not recording, 1 specifies recording in progress
_RD Returns address of next array element.
