This command enables ''+'' or disables ''-'' the controller’s ability to control the motor of a certain axis.  The motor control voltage is set to zero and the position feedback control is not monitored when the motor is in disabled ''-'' mode. The electronics of the controller will attempt to keep the motor from moving while disabled, however, it should be noted that this is an open-loop brake control only, and any movement or drift is not corrected. 

When queried with ''MC <axis>?'', the controller returns values of ''1'' or ''0'' representing enabled and disabled respectively. The ''MS2000'' controller may also return a value of ''2'' if the clutch is disengaged, there is a switch on the front of the controller to toggle the clutch state.

If there are no errors, the positive reply <wrap reply> :A </wrap> will be sent back from the controller.


== Example ==
	
<asi> $ MC X+ Y+ Z-
:A</asi>

This example shows that the X and Y motor control is enabled, but disables the Z motor control.
