D ESCRIPTION This command pauses the execution of motion
commands until a sequential START command is
applied.
The main purpose of this command is to enable you to
send a group of (up to 10) sequential commands, so
that execution of the commands is delayed until a
START command is received.
This command is used to coordinate axes.
The START command clears the WAIT_FOR_START
command. Therefore the WAIT_FOR_START command
must be set per motion.
E XAMPLE Consider a system with X and Y axes that are required
to start moving at exactly the same time. To ensure
that their motions start simultaneously, a
WAIT_FOR_START command should be sent (via
serial communication) to each of the axes, followed
by the required MOVE commands, which may be
different for each axis. The axes will not move until a
START command arrives. A START command can then
be sent, and it will arrive simultaneously at both of
the axes, causing both axes to start moving
simultaneously.
