AN-300 PSWITCH limitation

AN-300 PSWITCH limitation

The PSWTICH command uses a software comparator to detect the ON and OFF positions on the defined axis so that an output can be switched rapidly within the motion software without the processing delays normally seen in a BASIC program.

This document explains about the limitations of PSWITCH due to it being done in software.
