Operands
Most DMC-42x0 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 "Operand Usage". Also, see
description of operands in Chapter 7 Application Programming.
