TC
FUNCTION:
Tell Error Code
DESCRIPTION:
The TC command returns a number between 1 and 255. This number is a code that reflects
why a command was not accepted by the controller. This command is useful when the
controller halts execution of a program at a command or when the response to a
command is a question mark. Entering the TC command will provide the user with a
code as to the reason. After TC has been read, it is set to zero. TC 1 returns the text
message as well as the numeric code.
ARGUMENTS:

n=0 returns code only
