Description
Use QUOTE to send messages to other drives or displays. Using the RS232
link, up to 20 ASCII characters are available to transmit the required
command or message in exactly the way in which it was entered. Only
ASCII characters between decimal 32 (space character) and decimal 126
(tilde ‘~’ character) inclusive are allowed.
Properties
Immediate or buffered, can be used in labelled block, not saved by SV
Example 1DECLARE(EXAMP) ;declare label
1EXAMP: ;label EXAMP
1”*TEST” ;quote TEST
1END ;end label
1GOTO(EXAMP) ;goto label EXAMP
*TEST ;output message
Note
To speed-up communications when addressing a number of drives, precede
the quoted text with an asterisk ‘*’. All other axes, apart from the one being
addressed, will ignore the quoted text and this will save processing time.
The command can be used to debug routines that do not appear to run. Add
a quote command to the suspect portion of code and see if it appears when
the code is executed.
Use quote commands sparingly as they can use a lot of available program
memory.
