Movement Script
This is the script that defines how a command line will be formatted in the output file. It consists of adding a Command along with the previously defined Tokens. The typical G-Code line N100 G01 X2.5 Y3.6 Z 4.7 consists of a 'Line Number Token', Command 'G01', 'X Position Token', 'Y Position Token', and 'Z Position Token'. Movement Scripts can be either a single command line or a block of continuos commands as set by the 'Single Move' or 'Continuous' selection. A Modal Token will only be written to the output file if it is different from its previous value.
Movement Script Example:
Select 'Linear'.
Select 'Single Move'.
Enter 'G01' in the Command box.
Select the 'Nt' Token and press the Add button.
Press the Add Command button
Select the 'Xt' Token and press the Add button.
Select the 'Yt' Token and press the Add button.
Select the 'Zt' Token and press the Add button.
Select 'Ft' and press the Add Modal button.
As each button is pressed, an example of the formatted line is displayed at the bottom. The feedrate Token (Ft) is displayed in brackets to show that it will only be written if it differs from a previous value.
