Controller Response to DATA

The DMC-1600 returns a : for valid commands.
The DMC-1600 returns a ? for invalid commands.
For example, if the command BG is sent in lower case, the DMC-1600 will return a ?.
:bg <enter>
?
When the controller receives an invalid command the user can request the error code. The error
code will specify the reason for the inval1d command response. To request the error code, type
the command: TC1 For example:
?TC1 <enter>
1 Unrecognized 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.
