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 1000
PR ,2000
PR ,,3000
PR ,,,4000
PR 2000,4000,6000,8000
PR ,8000,,9000
PR ?,?,?,?
PR ,?
The controller can also be interrogated with operands.

Operands

Most DMC-1600 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:
DMC-1600
Specify X only as 1000
Specify Y only as 2000
Specify Z only as 3000
Specify W only as 4000
Specify X Y Z and W
Specify Y and W only
