    Acramatic 950 "M98" Looping?

    I ran a search and found zero threads with "950" in the title.
    Shirley that's not true?


    On my old A900 control, you could program a sub like:

    (CLS, I1, L3) .. or something like that to indicate that you wanted to cycle sub 1 three times.

    However, on the 950, I cannot figger out how to cycle a sub more than once per call.


    I may have asked this here somewhere before, but I don't find anything ...

    I don't think you can do that on the 950 control.
    You have to use T registers and a counter.

    ~beginning of part program
    G10=[T1]V0
    Q100
    (CLS,L10)
    G10=[T1]V[T1]+1
    G11E[T1]<3L-100
    ~rest of part program

    OK - I may try that the next time.
