MC-Basic:group.SELECTAXES

Select which of the target coordinates will be taken, and which not (those with the corresponding bit value set to zero). The value is a bit-field defining the axes that will be involved in the movement. (1 – axis is taken). Used when there is a need to disengage movement of some axis throughout the system.

For example:

moving only first axis - 0001 bin (1 dec)

moving only second axis - 0010 bin ( 2 dec )

moving only third axis – 0100 bin ( 4 dec )

moving only fourth axis – 1000 bin ( 8 dec )

moving all four axes – 1111 bin (15 dec)
