Defaults     timeout:  error 2, RS-232 COMMUNICATION TIME-OUT 
 
 
DESCRIPTION  This command is used to read the error code. 
 
The error code is one numerical value up to three digits long. (see Appendix for 
complete listing)  
In general, non-axis specific errors numbers range from 1-99. Axis-1 specific 
errors range from 100-199, Axis-2 errors range from 200-299 and so on. 
 
 Note: 
Errors are maintained in a FIFO buffer ten(10) elements deep. When an error is 
read using TB or TE, the controller returns the last error that occurred and the 
error buffer is cleared by one(1) element. This means that an error can be read 
only once, with either command.  
 
RETURNS    aa  
 
    where:  aa   =   error code number  (see Appendix for complete listing) 
 
REL. COMMANDS    TB  -  read error message
