Syntax
Read
MPD[axis]
|
[axis] is set to X, Y, Z, U |
Write
MPD[axis]=[value]
|
[axis] is set to X, Y, Z, U [value] specifies the numerator in a ratio to determine the manual pulse generator count ratio (values 1 – 2048). Resulting ration is: Ratio = [mpd]/2048 |

An error message is returned. See Error Codes
Example
Read
MPDX * Returns the current manual pulse generator counts for the X axis.
Write
MPDX=512 * Set the manual pulse generator division ration to 514/2048 = 1/4.
Notes
The MPD[axis] can be set to a value from [1 to 2048]. The denominator of the divider circuit is fixed as 2048. A value of 2048 will turn the divider off.
