Program Command Specification

LIST ROTARY

Function: List contents of addressed coordinate system’s rotary program buffer

Scope: Coordinate-system specific

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

LIST ROT [{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 rotary motion program buffer for the

addressed coordinate system to the host. The contents are reported in ASCII text form. If I9 is 0 or 2, the

contents are reported in short form (e.g. LIN). If I9 is 1 or 3, the contents are reported in long form (e.g.

LINEAR).

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.

If either {start}, {length}, or both, or just the comma, is included in the command, the listing of

the program will include the buffer address offsets with each line. Having a listing with these offsets can

be useful in conjunction with later use of the PC (Program-Counter) and LIST PC commands.

If the loading of the rotary buffer has caused the buffer to “wrap around” and re-use the beginning of the

buffer, the listing will start relative to this new top of the buffer (even if there are previously loaded, and

still unexecuted, lines at the bottom of the buffer.
