Turbo PMAC On-line Command Specification 297

Program Buffers (Talking to Turbo PMAC)

On-line commands OPEN, CLOSE, DELETE.

CLEAR ALL

Function: Erase all fixed motion, kinematic, and uncompiled PLC programs

Scope: Global

Syntax: CLEAR ALL

CLR ALL

This command causes Turbo PMAC to erase all fixed (not rotary) motion program buffers (PROGRAM),

all forward-kinematic program buffers (FORWARD), all inverse-kinematic program buffers (INVERSE),

and all uncompiled PLC program buffers (PLC) in the Turbo PMAC buffer space.

This command does not affect rotary motion program buffers (ROTARY), compiled PLC program buffers

(PLCC), or any non-program buffers, such as compensation tables and lookahead buffers.

CLEAR ALL PLCS

Function: Erase all uncompiled PLC programs

Scope: Global

Syntax: CLEAR ALL PLCS

CLR ALL PLCS

This command causes Turbo PMAC to erase all uncompiled PLC program buffers (PLC) in the Turbo

PMAC buffer space.

This command does not affect fixed motion program buffers (PROGRAM), forward-kinematic program

buffers (FORWARD), inverse-kinematic program buffers (INVERSE), rotary motion program buffers

(ROTARY), compiled PLC program buffers (PLCC), or any non-program buffers, such as compensation

tables and lookahead buffers.

CLOSE

Function: Close the currently opened buffer.

Scope: Global

Syntax: CLOSE

CLS

This command closes the program buffer (PROGRAM, PLC, ROTARY, BINARY ROTARY) that is

currently opened on the port over which the command is given. When Turbo PMAC receives a CLOSE

command, it automatically appends a RETURN statement to the end of the open program buffer. If used

to close open rotary motion program buffers, it closes the rotary program buffers for all coordinate

systems simultaneously.

If there is no open program buffer, or if the program buffer that is open was opened from another

communications port, the CLOSE command will be accepted, but no action will occur.
