Bit 10 C-Axis Incremental Mode: (See bit 22 description.)
Bit 9 B-Axis Used in Feedrate Calculations: (See bit 23 description.)
Bit 8 B-Axis Incremental Mode: (See bit 22 description.)
Fifth character returned
:
Bit 7 A-Axis Used in Feedrate Calculations: (See bit 23 description.)
Bit 6 A-Axis Incremental Mode: (See bit 22 description.)
Bit 5 Radius Vector Incremental Mode: This bit is 1 if circle move radius vectors
are specified incrementally (i.e. from the move start point to the arc center). It is 0 if circle
move radius vectors are specified absolutely (i.e. from the XYZ origin to the arc center). See
the INC(R) and ABS(R) commands.
Bit 4 Continuous Motion Request: This bit is 1 if the coordinate system has
requested of it a continuous set of moves (e.g. with an R command). It is 0 if this is not the
case (e.g. not running program, Ix92=1, or running under an S command).
Sixth character returned
:
Bit 3 Move-Specified-by-Time Mode: This bit is 1 if programmed moves in this
coordinate system are currently specified by time (TM or TA), and the move speed is
derived. It is 0 if programmed moves in this coordinate system are currently specified by
feedrate (speed; F) and the move time is derived.
Bit 2 Continuous Motion Mode: This bit is 1 if the coordinate system is in a
sequence of moves that it is blending together without stops in between. It is 0 if it is not
currently in such a sequence, for whatever reason.
Bit 1 Single-Step Mode: This bit is 1 if the motion program currently executing in
this coordinate system has been told to “step” one move or block of moves, or if it has been
given a Q (Quit) command. It is 0 if the motion program is executing a program by an R
(run) command, or if it is not executing a motion program at all.
Bit 0 Running Program: This bit is 1 if the coordinate system is currently
executing a motion program. It is 0 if the C.S. is not currently executing a motion program.
Note that it becomes 0 as soon as it has calculated the last move and reached the final
RETURN statement in the program, even if the motors are still executing the last move or two
