during motion
This command initiates an absolute motion. When received, a
trapezoidal trajectory is generated with the predefined acceleration
and velocity and the actuator will move to the absolute position
specified by nn.
Note:
The command is not accepted while a motion is in progress.
If the "?" sign takes the place of nn value, this command reports the
last commanded position. Which is the same as the value read back
from TP? ± the predefined Backlash value, if there was a change of
direction.
