commands, the valid range of axis number is from 1 to 4.
*IDN?
Description
Product identification string query.
Syntax
*IDN?
Remarks
This query will cause the instrument to return a unique identification string. This similar
to the Version (VE) command but provides more information. In response to this
command the controller replies with company name, product model name, firmware
version number, firmware build date, and controller serial number. No two controllers
share the same model name and serial numbers, therefore this information can be used to
uniquely identify a specific controller.
New_Focus XXXX vYYY mm/dd/yy, SNZZZZ
Example
