Remarks
This command causes data gathering to cease. Data gathering may start up again (without
overwriting old data) with another GATHER command.
This command is usually used in conjunction with the data gathering and plotting functions
of the PMAC Executive Program.
If a motion or PLC program buffer is open when this command is sent to PMAC, the
command will be entered into that buffer for later execution.
Example
GAT B1R .......... ; Start gathering and run program 1
ENDG.................. Stop gathering – give this command when moves

F
Function
Report motor following error
Scope
Motor specific
Syntax
F
Remarks
This command causes PMAC to report the present motor following error (in counts, rounded
to the nearest tenth of a count) to the host. Following error is the difference between motor
desired and measured position at any instant. When the motor is open-loop (killed or
enabled), following error does not exist and PMAC reports a value of 0.
Example
F......................... ; Ask for following error of addressed motor
12 ...................... ; PMAC responds
#3F .................... ; Ask for following error of Motor 3
-6.7 ; PMAC responds
