[addr#]PEDAL X? Y? Z?Type Card-Addressed Remembered Using [addr#]SS Z Hardware/Firmware Required pedal or rocker switch, PEDALS firmware module
This command sets/displays the dual-pedal footswitch controls for controllers with this feature (requires appropriate hardware). Besides a foot pedal, the same functionality is used with a dual rocker switch commonly present with FTP systems with a pair of synchronized vertical stages.
The command is set up as follows:
X = Pedal Step Increment size, in millimeters.
Y = Rate when pedal is held down, as an integer proportional to a speed in millimeters per second,
Z = an integer multiplier used when the pedal controls a zoom axis.
Warning: User must ensure that the Rate given in this command is not greater than the maximum speed of the axis being controlled by the pedals. Entering an invalid value may result in unexpected errors and failures (e.g. motor disabling itself).
If there are no errors, a positive reply of :A followed by the startup sequence.
Example
PD X=0.02 Y=8 Z=5 :A PD X? Y? :A X=0.02000 Y=8.00000
