procedure dms_T<n>Init(NodeNumber:longint; GroupNumber:longint; FirstAxisIndex:longint;....LastAxisIndex:longint);

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 Group Number provided to this routine should be chosen to have the "tens" digit be the dimension of the group and the "ones" digit a unique value to distinguish this group from another with the same dimension. For examplel, an 8 axis controller could be divided into four 2 axis groups with group numbers 21, 22, 23, and 24. It could be divided into two 4 axis groups with group numbers 41 and 42.

Escapes

Initialization does not generate any escapes.

Note that the EscapeResult parameter must be preset to 0 before making the call or the routine will not run
