CM (Contour Mode)

[Setting]

DESCRIPTION:

The Contour Mode is initiated by the instruction CM. This mode allows the generation of an arbitrary
motion trajectory. The CD command specifies the position increment, and the DT command specifies the
time interval.

The CM? or _CM commands can be used to check the status of the Contour Buffer. A value of 1 returned
indicates that the Contour Buffer is full. A value of 0 indicates that the Contour Buffer is empty.

ARGUMENTS: CM XYZW or ABCDEFGH

CM? Returns a 1 if the contour buffer is full, and 0 if the contour buffer is empty.

USAGE:

OPERAND USAGE:

_CM contains a ‘0’ if the contour buffer is empty, otherwise contains a ‘1’ meaning the buffer is
full.
