168 PMAC On-Line Command Specification
<CONTROL-F>
Function
Report following errors for all motors.
Scope
Global
Syntax
ASCII Value 6D; $06
Remarks
This command causes PMAC to report the following errors of all motors to the host. The
errors are reported in an ASCII string, each error scaled in counts, rounded to the nearest
tenth of a count. A space character is returned between the reported error for each motor.
Refer to the on-line F command for more detail as to how the following error is calculated.
For multiple cards on a single serial daisy-chain, this command affects only the card
currently addressed in software (by the @n command).

had been sent, although no command acknowledgement character (<ACK> or <LF>,
depending on I3) is sent at the end of the response.

description.
