Report commands (query commands)
Report commands report various pump parameters. The response is
returned immediately and can be used when the pump is busy executing
another command string. The report commands are listed in Table 5-12.
Note: Report commands do not require an [R] command.

Report description
? or RZ Reports absolute position of plunger in increments as defined by N
mode setting.
?1 Reports start velocity [v] in increments/sec.
?2 Reports top velocity [V] in increments/sec.
?3 Reports cutoff velocity [c] in increments/sec.
?4 or ?5 Reports absolute position of plunger in increments as defined by N
mode setting. Same as [?] or [RZ].
?6 For most valves, reports valve position expressed in mnemonics (i =
input, o = output, b = bypass and e = extra). For the 3-way distribution
valve using [I]<n> and [O]<n> or the 6-way distribution valve, ?6 reports
the port number 1..X, where X is the number of ports.
?7 Reports acceleration slope set using the [L] command, in units of 1,000
increments/sec^2 (increments as defined by N mode setting).
?10 or F Reports command buffer status. If the buffer is empty, the pump returns
status code 0. If the buffer is not empty, the pump returns a 1. If a pro-
gram string is sent to the pump without an [R] command, the string is
loaded into the buffer and the buffer status becomes 1. If an [R] com-
mand is sent, the command stored in the buffer will execute.
Report values:
0 = buffer empty
1 = commands in buffer
?12 Reports backlash setting [K] in increments as defined by N mode set-
ting.
?13 Reports status of auxiliary input #1 (JP3, Pin 7).
Report values:
0 = low
1 = high
?14 Reports status of auxiliary input #2 (JP3, Pin 8).
Report values:
0 = low
1 = high
?15 Non-functional. Always reports 1.
?16 Non-functional. Always reports 1.
?17 Non-functional. Always reports 1.
?18 or % Reports number of valve movements since last [?18] or [%] command).
?19 Reports whether or not pump has been initialized.
Report values:
0 = not initialized
1 = initialized
?20 or # Reports firmware checksum.
?21 Reports calibrate encoder levels.
