PA (Binary C8)
FUNCTION: Position Absolute
DESCRIPTION:
The PA command will set the final destination of the next move. The position is
referenced to the absolute zero. If a ? is used, then the current destination
(current command position if not moving, destination if in a move) is returned.
For each single move, the largest position move possible is +/-2147483647. Units
are in quadrature counts.
ARGUMENTS: PA x,y,z,w
PAX=x
PA a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h
where
x,y,z,w are signed integers in the range -2147483647 to 2147483648 decimal
DPRAM:
Bit 5 of the Status #1 address in the Axis Buffer indicates when the controller is
performing a position absolute move. Bit 7 of the Status #2 address will show
the direction.

Start the move
:PA 700
X-axis will go to 700 on the next move while the
:BG
Y,Z and W -axis will travel the previously set
relative distance if the preceding move was a PR
move, or will not move if the p receding move was a
PA move.
