  • include *_job.gwl : Always include the job file and NOT the data file. The job file will automatically call the data.
  • Pause: Introduces a pause before proceeding to the next step. The user must click "Continue" or "Abort" before proceeding.
  • var $i : This syntax declares the variable i. Any other string can be used as long as it is is not a command and follows the $ symbol every time it is called.
  • CenterStage: Brings the stage to the center position, the same coordinates where the automatic interface finder determined the center.
  • StageGoToX #/ StageGoToY #: These commands can move the stage to a desired X or Y position where # is an X or Y coordinate.
  • AddZDrivePosition #: Adds some value, #, to the current Z height in microns.
  • ShowVar $i: displays the value of the variable i. Useful for outputting things like loop number, or other hardcoded variables to ensure they are still correct.
  • MessageOut "text": Displays the text within the quotes in the Message Center. Using this one can output current status (i.e. MessageOut "Printing job 2 of 3")
  • for i = 0 to 1: Basic For loop syntax. The lines between the for statement and "end" will run while i increments by 1 (by default).
  • end : Ends the For Loop.
