DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
NOTE:
This command is typically sent from a host rather than existing within a
SmartMotor program.
The TALK1 command restores the motor’s ability to print messages to the serial
communication channel 1 if that ability was previously suppressed with the SILENT1
command. This command is typically used following the download of a user program to a
SmartMotor™ within a daisy chain. It could also be used to "un-silence" a debug routine.
TALK1 may be issued from the terminal or within a user program. However, the command is
typically sent from a host.
