For example, the following example illustrates how to display the current position of the X axis:
TP X <enter>
0000000000
TP XY <enter>
0000000000,0000000000

Interrogating Current Commanded Values.

Most commands can be interrogated by using a question mark (?) as the axis specifier. Type the
command followed by a ? for each axis requested.
PR ?,?,?,?
PR ,?
The controller can also be interrogated with operands.

Operands

Most DMC-18x2 commands have corresponding operands that can be used for interrogation.
Operands must be used inside of valid DMC expressions. For example, to display the value of an
operand, the user could use the command:
MG 'operand'
All of the command operands begin with the underscore character ( _ ). For example, the value of the
current position on the X axis can be assigned to the variable 'V' with the command:
V=_TPX
The Command Reference denotes all commands which have an equivalent operand as "Used as an
Operand". Also, see description of operands in Chapter 7.
