Note: This command may cause the Galil software to issue the following warning "A time-out occurred
while waiting for a response from the controller". This warning is normal and is designed to warn the
user when the controller does not respond to a command within the timeout period. This occurs
because this command takes more time than the default timeout of 5 sec. The timeout can be changed
in the Galil software but this warning does not affect the operation of the controller or software.
