IDNUMBER

Function: Report electronic identification number

Scope: Global

Syntax: IDNUMBER

IDNUM

This command causes Turbo PMAC to report the electronic identification number from the Option 18A

ID-number module, or the Option 18B ID-number & clock/calendar module.

The identification number is reported as a hexadecimal 16-digit ASCII string, representing a 64-bit value.

The first two hex digits represent the 8-bit checksum value for the module; these should match the

checksum digits engraved on the case of the module. The last two hex digits represent the module class;

these should match the class digits engraved on the case of the module (currently 01 for Option 18A, and

04 for Option 18B). The middle 12 hex digits represent the unique number for each module and board.

If no ID-number module is present, Turbo PMAC will return a 0.

The electronic identification number has no relationship to the serial number that is engraved on the

circuit board.

This command is identical to the SID command.

INC

Function: Specify Incremental Move Mode

Scope: Coordinate-system specific

Syntax: INC

INC({axis}[,{axis}...])

where:

 {axis} is a letter (X, Y, Z, A, B, C, U, V, W) representing the axis to be specified, or the character

R to specify radial vector mode

No spaces are permitted in this command.

The INC command without arguments causes all subsequent positions for all axes in position motion

commands to be treated as incremental distances. An INC statement with arguments causes the specified

axes to be in incremental mode, and all others stay the way they were before. The default axis specification

is absolute.

If R is specified as one of the axes, the I, J, and K terms of the circular move radius vector specification

will be specified in incremental form (i.e. as a vector from the move start point, not from the origin). An

INC command without any arguments does not affect this vector specification. The default vector

specification is incremental.

If a motion program buffer is open when this command is sent to Turbo PMAC, it will be entered into the

buffer as a program statement.

Example:

INC(A,B,C) ; A, B, and C axes made incremental other axes and rad vector left as is

INC ; All axes made incremental -- radius vector left as is

INC(R) ; Radius vector made incremental -- all axes left as is
