Quasi-absolute encoder parameters set.
Description
xxAEnn1,nn2,nn3,nn4
Syntax
This command is used to set the quasi-absolute encoder parameters for an axis. Since these

values are stage/positioner-specific, please consult the stage's user's manual for guidance on
correct parameter values. If this command is issued when an axis' absolute position search is in
progress, the controller will generate "COMMAND NOT ALLOWED DURING HOMING"
error message.
