Re: EMC - M codes pause motion?

Mcodes.....

Controls have a priority sequence in executing commands on the same
line, "M's" usually are done prior to motion commands. The line in
question should execute the M07 then the arc. Typically there is no
delay on "M's" since most of the functions being controlled via the
Mcode have no method of feedback indicating completion.
