### SB - Scan Target

The SB command transmits the independent axis targets from the scan buffer S9(*,0) to the MP, so that they can be used in the next scan. The part program must execute the SB command before it executes the SN command if it uses absolute targets.

Command Format

MLString "SB p1"

Examples

1. MLString "SB 100"

Input

- p1 = Number of targets to transmit (Numeric;required)

p1 specifies the number of independent axis targets to transmit. p1 must be an integer equal to or greater than 1. In the example, p1 is 100. The probe scans 100 targets for this measurement. The first target is in the scan buffer location S9(0,0). If you are scanning in several phases, transfer all targets at once. S9 is a real array, so the number of digits that make up the target coordinate value is not restricted.

Results

Targets are sent to the MP starting at S9(0,0). If the program transmits 100 targets, the last target sent is at S9(99,0).

Skip Action

Ignored; not executed if part of a skipped block.

Error Messages

None.
