Description
The numbers given represent the physical location of the end effector in absolute
coordinates to which the robot was commanded. The position to which the robot
actually moves may vary slightly from the position to which the robot was com-
manded (see RQ POS ABS to request the actual position).
The number and order of the data-fields returned will reflect the number and order of
the Request. Use of ALL implies that the return data-values will appear in the stan-
dard order (ARM, R, T, Z).

the robot.
