Initialize Group

Command

<group> INI <value> <value> ... <value>

Description

This command describes what axes comprise a multiaxis coordinated group. Coordinated motion is then performed by sending commands to the group rather than the individual component axes. The parameters represent the component axes. The dimension of the coordinated group is established by the number of parameters provided. Two parameters will establish a 2 axis coordinated group. Four parameters will establish a 4 axis coordinated group. The maximum dimension of a coordinated group is 6 axes. Note that the compiler directive MoreThan3Axis must be defined to access coordinated group dimensions greater than 3.

Escapes

If only one parameter is provided a TooFewParameters error will be returned. If more than 6 parameters are provided a TooManyParameters error will be returned.

Examples

The following command list initializes a two axis group named C1 and a three axis group named C2. Both groups start vector moves. Commands are used to monitor progress and determine when the moves are finish:
