4.14.1 G168/G169: RTCP On/Off


Format:

G168: RTCP on

G169: RTCP off


Use G168 to start real-time tool rotation center control (RTCP) and use G169 to turn off real-time tool rotation center control.


After the user presses F10 or the emergency stop button, the system will automatically return to G169 (that is, the real-time tool rotation center control is turned off).
