Shortcut SAF Format SAF [axis]=### … Units Milliseconds or clock edges Type Axis-Specific Remembered Using [addr#]SS Z Firmware Module SINGLEAXIS_FUNCTION
This command sets the period of the pattern, in units of milliseconds in case of internal clock (default, see SAP) or in number of clock edges for external clock. Note that the triangle pattern and square wave pattern will automatically force themselves to have a period of an even number of milliseconds, even if the user specifies a period of an odd number of milliseconds. When period is set to be 1msec, the resulting behavior is undefined.
Note: On Micro Mirror cards the actual waveform output is modified by the filter (tunable with BACKLASH), especially when the period is set to be less than 10 milliseconds.
Note: This command will limit the single axis rise time (SAR) to the single axis period minus one automatically.
Example
SAF A=10 :A
Sets up the period of the pattern at 10 milliseconds or 100Hz.
