Problem Topic
FEDRAT: Ques. on n with DEFALT
Problem Description
Page 173, last two lines:
It is not clear what "n" would mean if var_2 is DEFALT. Either the last two lines should say var_3 does not exist if var_2 is DEFALT, or an explanation of what n means when var_2 is DEFALT should be added somewhere on the page.

Resolution
Warning!!
The following statement is only a resolution to a Standard Improvement Request (SIR) and is NOT part of the current DMIS standard, nor is it guaranteed to become part of the next revision of the DMIS standard even if voted and accepted by the DMIS National Standards Committee. This resolution is tentative because it may not be incorporated into the next version of the standard, it could be changed prior to the next release, or it could be changed as the result of the "public review and comment" period required for the next version of the standard. If you choose to use this tentative resolution, you do so at your own risk since at this time it is not part of the DMIS standard.
FEDRAT
Function: Used to set the velocities for measurements, safe moves, and rotary tables.
Input Format: FEDRAT/var_1,var_2
Output Format: None.
Where: var_1 can
be: MESVEL
or: POSVEL
or: ROTVEL
or: SCNVEL
var_2 can
be: MPM, var_3
or: IPM, var_3
or: RPM, var_3
or: PCENT, var_3
or: HIGH
or: LOW
or: DEFALT
var_3 can be: ,n
MESVEL signifies that the measurement velocity or the velocity of the sensor for measurement/contact moves is to be set.
POSVEL signifies that the positional velocity or the velocity of the sensor for positioning/safe moves is to be set.
ROTVEL signifies that the rotary table's rotational velocity is to be set.
SCNVEL signifies that the scanning velocity is to be set. HIGH is the DME's internally stored high value.
LOW is the DME's internally stored low value.
n is the velocity value.
MPM signifies meters per minute. IPM signifies inches per minute.
RPM signifies revolutions per minute.
PCENT signifies the percent of maximum, i.e., 0.75 = 75%.
DEFALT signifies the DME's default velocity.
Note: When var_2 is HIGH or LOW, var_3 does not exist. The following statements are interrelated in the use of rotary tables: ROTDEF, ROTSET, ROTAB, FEDRAT, ACLRAT, and CALIB.
