DMC-1400 Series Command Reference TC ● 191
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: TC n
n=0 returns code only
n=1 returns code and message
