The axis positions and soft limit locations are usually automatically saved when power is turned off.  If this action is not desired, setting inhibit=1 will prevent power down saves. (Default is ''inhibit = 0'')  If the command is given without argument, a save position shutdown will be initiated whereby the axes will be halted, positions saved to flash memory, and the controller placed in a non-responsive condition until power is cycled. 

== Reply ==

Upon the start of execution of this command, the controller will reply with a  <wrap reply> : </wrap>. When the execution is complete, an  <wrap reply> A </wrap> will follow the colon. When a power down condition is detected, an <wrap reply> O </wrap> is transmitted.  After the positions are successfully saved, a <wrap reply> K </wrap> is sent. 

**Note 1:** During the time interval between the <wrap reply> : </wrap> and the <wrap reply> A </wrap>, no serial or manual moves should be given.

**Note 2:**  In MS2000 Versions 6.1u and later (see ''VERSION'' command), limit settings (see'' SETLOW'' and ''SETUP'') are saved if and only if the ''SAVEPOS'' command is issued after the command ''SAVESET Z''.

**Note 3:** <wrap reply> OK </wrap> is not transmitted in TG-1000
