ET
FUNCTION:
Electronic cam table
DESCRIPTION:
The ET command sets the ECAM table entries for the slave axes. The values of the master axes
are not required. The slave entry (n) is the position of the slave axes when the master is at the
point (m
i) + o, where i is the interval and o is the offset as determined by the EP command.
ARGUMENTS: ET[m] = n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n
where
m is an integer between 0 and 256
n is an integer in the range between -2,147,438,648, and 2,147,438,647.
n=? Returns the slave position for the specified point.
The value m can be left out of the command if the index count has been set using the command,
EC. In this mode, each ET command will automatically increment the index count by 1.
