SP
FUNCTION: Speed
DESCRIPTION:
This command sets the slew speed of any or all axes for independent moves.
Note: Negative values will be interpreted as the absolute value.
ARGUMENTS: SP n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n or
SPA=n where
n is an unsigned even integer in the range 0 to 22,000,000 for servo motors. The units are encoder
counts per second.
OR
n is an unsigned number in the range 0 to 6,000,000 for stepper motors
n = ? Returns the speed for the specified axis.

Begin motion of all axes
AM C

For vector moves, use the vector speed command (VS) to change the speed. SP is not a "mode" of
motion like JOG (JG).
Note:
SP2 is the minimum non-zero speed
