For example, the following example illustrates how to display the current position of the X axis:
TP A <return> Tell position A
0000000000 Controllers Response
TP AB <return> Tell position A and B
0000000000,0000000000 Controllers Response
Interrogating Current Commanded Values
Most commands can be interrogated by using a question mark (?) as the axis specifier. Type the
command followed by a ? for each axis requested.
PR ?,?,?,? Request A,B,C,D values
PR ,? Request B value only
The controller can also be interrogated with operands.
Operands
Most CDS-3310 commands have corresponding operands that can be used for interrogation. Operands
must be used inside of valid DMC expressions. For example, to display the value of an operand, the
user could use the command:
MG ‘operand’ where ‘operand’ is a valid DMC operand
All of the command operands begin with the underscore character (_). For example, the value of the
current position on the A axis can be assigned to the variable ‘V’ with the command:
V=_TPA
The Command Reference denotes all commands which have an equivalent operand as "Used as an
Operand". Also, see description of operands in Chapter 7.
