Host Command Reference
FL - Feed to Length
Compatibility: All drives
See also:
AC, DE, DI, VE commands
Executes a relative move command. Move distance and direction come from the last DI command. Speed,
accel and decel are from the VE, AC and DE commands, respectively. Executing the FL command with no
parameter initiates a feed to length move that uses the last DI command for direction and distance. Executing
the FL command with a parameter uses the parameter settings for direction and distance without changing the DI
command.
