Explanatory comments

This command returns values associated with the azimuth axis:

curaz current position (fractional degrees).

comaz commanded position (fractional degrees).

objaz object azimuth if tracking (fractional degrees).

velaz velocity from abs encoder (fractional degrees/second).

vincaz velocity from incr encoder (fractional degrees/second).

daz azimuth drive status

modeaz motion mode (tracking or slewing or ...)

tflagsaz TCS servo flag string.

sflagsaz LM628 status flag string.

perraz position error (encoder count units).

scmdaz servo velocity command (scaled encoder units).

vmaxaz velocity limit (degrees/second).
