Controller Response to DATA

The DMC-3425 returns a : for valid commands and a ? for invalid commands.

For example, if the command BG is sent in lower case, the DMC-3425 will return a ?.

:bg <return>

invalid command, lower case

?

DMC-3425 returns a ?

When the controller receives an invalid command the user can request the error code. The error code will specify the reason for the invalid command response. To request the error code, type the command: TC1. For example:

?TC1 <return>

Tell Code command

1 Unrecognized

Returned response

command

 

There are many reasons for receiving an invalid command response. The most common reasons are: unrecognized command (such as typographical entry or lower case), command given at improper time (such as during motion), or a command out of range (such as exceeding maximum speed). A complete listing of all codes is listed in the TC command in the Command Reference section.
