TC
FUNCTION: Tell Error Code
DESCRIPTION:
The TC command returns a number between 1 and 255. This number is a code that reflects
why a command was not accepted by the controller. This command is useful when the
controller halts execution of a program at a command or when the response to a
command is a question mark. The TC command will provide the user with a diagnostic
tool. After TC has been read, the error code is set to zero.
ARGUMENTS: TC n
where
n = 0 Returns code only
n = 1 Returns code and message
n = ? Returns the error code
No argument will provide the error code for all axes
