LC
FUNCTION: Low Current Stepper Mode
DESCRIPTION:
The LC command causes the amp enable line for the specified axes to toggle (disabling the
stepper drives) when the respective axes stop (profiler holding position). Each axis is
handled individually. This will reduce current consumption, but there will be no holding
torque. The MT command must be issued prior to the LC command.
