Turbo PMAC On-line Command Specification 344

If the forward kinematic program requested by this command does not exist in Turbo PMAC, Turbo

PMAC will reject this command (reporting an ERR003 if I6 is 1 or 3).

Forward kinematic programs can be protected by password. If there is a password for the Turbo PMAC,

and the password has not been given, Turbo PMAC will reject this command (reporting an ERR002 if I6

is 1 or 3).

LIST GATHER

Function: Report contents of the data gathering buffer.

Scope: Global

Syntax: LIST GATHER [{start}] [,{length}]

LIS GAT [{start}] [,{length}]

where:

 the optional {start} parameter is an integer constant specifying the distance from the start of the

buffer (in words of memory) to begin the listing (0 is the default);

 the optional {length} parameter (after a comma) is an integer constant specifying the number of

words of the buffer to be sent to the host (to the end of the buffer is the default)

This command causes Turbo PMAC to report the contents of the data gathering buffer to the host. The

data is reported as 48-bit long words in hexadecimal format (12 characters per word) separated by spaces,

16 long words per line.

If neither {start} nor {length} is specified, the entire contents of the buffer will be reported. If

{start} is specified, the reporting will begin {start} words from the beginning of the buffer. If

{length} is specified, the reporting will continue for {length} words from the starting point. The

starting point is referenced to the beginning memory location of the buffer. If gathering has rolled over

the buffer, as it can with I5000 = 1 or 3, the reported contents may not come in the same order as they
