Remote Command Set 85
TB?
Description Error message query
Syntax TB?
Remarks This command is used to read the error code, and the associated message.
The error code is one numerical value up to three(3) digits long. (see Appendix
for complete listing) In general, non-axis specific errors numbers range from 0-
99. Axis-1 specific errors range from 100-199, Axis-2 errors range from 200-299
and so on. The message is a description of the error associated with it. All
arguments are separated by commas.
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.
