DT (Delta Time)
[Motion]
DESCRIPTION:
The DT command sets the time interval for Contouring Mode. Sending the DT command once will set the
time interval for all following contour data until a new DT command is sent. 2
n
samples is the time
interval. Sending DT0 followed by CD0 command terminates the Contour Mode.
ARGUMENTS: DT n
where
n is an integer. 0 terminates the Contour Mode.
n=1 thru 8 specifies the time interval of 2
n
samples. By default the sample period is 1 msec (set by TM
command); with n=1, the time interval would be 2 msec.
