variable
DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
The TEMP command reads the motor temperature measured on the main drive board close to
the motor. The current temperature of the motor can be determined by assigning TEMP to a
user variable. The units are in degrees Celsius.
Some motors are equipped with thermistors inside the motor windings. These additional
sensors can be read using RTEMP(1), RTEMP(2) and RTEMP(3)
