Moving with locked axis was created by mittim

Hi,

I have a C-Axis, which I can lock mechanically. Doing the HAL setup, I don´t undestand what

"Moving with other axes is not allowed when moving a locked rotary axis"

means. Does that mean, I can´t move any other axis, once my C-Axis is locked? Or does it means I only can move WITH other axis, once the C-Axis is unlocked?

I believe it means that, if a rotary axis is configured as LOCKING_INDEXER = 1, you can only command that axis to move alone. Or to put it differently you cannot have that rotary axis be part of a coordinated move together with another axis.
So in your GCODE you would need to separate the indexing moves from the other ones.
Example: If the C-axis is a configured as a locking-indexer:
This would not be allowed:
G01 X0 Y0 C90 F100
you would have to split it so the index move is separate:
G01 X0 Y0 F100
G01 C90

At least that is how I think it works as I have never used this feature.
