6.1.1. Basic Move Sequence

BasicMove is a sequence that control axes to move in x, y and z direction. Its menu looks like the following:

The top five commands (P1 to P5) introduce the basic information of this sequence including the name, created date and etc. P6 allows user to change the reference the command is execute from, whether relative to current position or the absolute reference, which is the origin. P7 is the axes speed that controls how fast axes should move and the unit is in mm/min. P8 through P10 represent the distance axes is going to move move in x, y, and z direction. The unit is in mm.

PRIME,VIEW, and GO

After modifying a parameter, GO command allows the execution of the sequence and corresponding Gcode command will be displayed on the terminal. It is highly recommended to do PRIME and VIEW command before engaging printing sequence. PRIME command will generate the print commands without actual execution done by hardware and VIEW will show those commands on terminal for user to review. Thus, it is best to do PRIME and VIEW to check on print commands in case there is errors that might break hardware
