Reads the XYZ travel range. Returns “axis=min/max” where:

axis	-	X, Y or Z.
min	-	Lowest position in tenths of millimeters.
max -		Highest position in tenths of millimeters.

The first time the command is sent, it returns the X range; the second time, it returns the Y range; the third time, it returns the Z range.

Reads front panel LED display. Returns “cccccccc” which are the eight characters currently shown on the display. If a character is non-printable, the hexadecimal ASCII code for the character is returned.

Reads the command in the synchronization buffer. There may be up to eight commands pending. Returns “” if buffer is empty.

Sends a synchronized buffered command (mm) that will be executed when the instrument is quiescent. Sending a command can overwrite unexecuted, existing commands. If you send this command without indicating a parameter (mm), the buffer is cleared.

Sets the Z-height (from the locator plate up, in tenths of millimeters) for each probe, where:

a is the Z-height for probe A b is the Z-height for probe B c is the Z-height for probe C d is the Z-height for probe D

If a Z-height is not specified, that probe will not move. For example, “T500,,300”, sets the probe A Z-height to 500 and probe C Z-height to 300.

Reads the last set Z height using the buffered T command (from the locator plate up, in tenths of millimeters) for each probe. Returns:

a is the Z-height for probe A b is the Z-height for probe B c is the Z-height for probe C d is the Z-height for probe D
