Description:

A cyclic capture is set up using the

CAPTURE keyword. The capture event is then used to stop the cyclic

capture.

The following events are currently supported.

Value Description

0 Disable capture events. Capture must be manually stopped.

1 Trigger on an asynchronous axis error.

2 Trigger on a stop input event.

Using

CAPTUREEVENTDELAY, the trigger can be programmed to continue capturing data for a specified

period after the event. Cyclic capture is set using the

CAPTURE keyword.

Example:

The following will trigger (stop the cyclic capture) on detecting any asynchronous error whilst

performing the programmed moves, with a post-trigger delay of 100 milliseconds:

CAPTUREEVENT = 1

CAPTUREEVENTDELAY = 100

CAPTURE = 2
