b. In the Cmd box for the desired axis, select a command. There are several ways to do
this:

from the list that opens upon typing.
• In the Cmd box, begin typing the number of the command and then select it
from the list that opens upon typing.
• In the Cmd box, click the ellipsis button and choose the command from the
command tree.
c. If the command has parameters, you must enter values in the parameters.
d. Click Send Command to send the command to the axis.
Tip:
Use the Event Log to see if the command was actually sent to the RMC. The Event Log will also
display any errors that may have occurred.
To re-send a previous command:
a. In the Cmd box for the desired axis, click the Command History button .
b. In the drop-down list box, click the command you want.
c. Click Send Command to send the command to the axis.
Note:
The command history stores the last 10 commands.
To send commands simultaneously to multiple axes:
a. In the Command Tool, right click anywhere and choose Show Send All options. The
Send All button will appear.
b. For each axis that you will send a command to, select the command and enter values
in the parameters if there are any.
c. For the axes that should not be receiving any command, choose the No-op (0)
command.
d. Click the Send All button. This will send all the commands from each axis in the
Command Tool.
Tip:
Use the Event Log to see if the commands were actually sent to the RMC. The Event Log will
also display any errors that may have occurred.
Selecting Axis to Display
In projects with many axes, you may wish to display only a few of the axis at one time in
the Command Tool. The axes displayed in the Command Tools are determined by the
axes displayed in the Axis Tools window. To specify which axes to display, use the Axis
Selection button in the Axis Tools window.
Shortcut Commands
Shortcut commands enable you to send commands quickly with a keypress or the click of
a button. See the Shortcut Commands topic for details.
