AP (After Absolute Position)
[Trippoint]
DESCRIPTION:
The After Position (AP) command is a trippoint used to control the timing of events. This command will
hold up the execution of the following command until one of the following conditions have been met:
1. The commanded motor position crosses the specified absolute position.
2. The motion profiling on the axis is complete.
3. The commanded motion is moving away from the specified position.
The units of the command are quadrature counts. The motion profiler must be active or the trippoint will
automatically be satisfied.
ARGUMENTS: AP x, y, z, w or APX=x or AP a, b, c, d where
x, y z, w, or a, b, c, d are unsigned integers
USAGE:

EXAMPLES:
HINT:
The accuracy of the AP command is the number of counts that occur in 2 msec. Multiply the speed by 2 msec to
obtain the maximum error. AP tests for absolute position. Use the
incremental distances.
