Host Command Reference
FP - Feed to Position
Compatibility: All drives
See also:
AC, DE, DI, SP, VE commands
Executes an absolute move command. Move position comes from the last DI command. Speed, accel and decel
are from VE, AC and DE commands, respectively. Executing the FP command with no parameter initiates a feed
to position move that uses the last DI command for position. Executing the FP command with a parameter uses
the parameter for position without changing the DI command.
