MAX COMMAND REFERENCE MANUAL 1-25 1.11. SYNCHRONIZATION COMMANDS 1.11.1. WAITING COMMANDS The commands below provide several methods of command and move synchronization. By forcing the MAX to wait a specified amount of time or wait until a set of axes has stopped moving before processing the next command in the queue, the host gains fine-grained control over the motion process. COMMAND PAGE Q = QUERY C=CMD COMMAND DESCRIPTION BW 1-56 C Wait for input to go low SW 1-196 C Sync wait for user-defined input high WA 1-235 C Wait for axes to synchronize WQ 1-240 C Wait for queue to empty WT 1-242 C Wait 1.12. LOOPING COMMANDS 1.12.1. LOOPING COMMANDS Often, applications have need of the ability to repeat a sequence of commands until some event occurs. The commands in this section will allow looping over a given series of commands until a timeout or an I/O event such as a rising or falling edge occurs or simply to loop a specific number of times. It should be noted that only queued commands can be looped; immediate commands will be executed immediately and will not stay in the queue to be part of a loop. COMMAND PAGE Q = QUERY C=CMD COMMAND DESCRIPTION CW 1-61 C Clear while LE 1-132 C Loop end LS 1-137 C Loop start WD 1-236 C While end of WS loop WG 1-237 C While end of WH loop WH 1-238 C While WS 1-241 C While user-defined input is high
