Command groups

• Status commands

• Motion commands

• Offset commands

• Maintenance commands

• Miscellaneous commands

It should be noted that the inquisitive commands return grouping of related parameters. Many parameters may be accessed via more than one command, and in every case, a parameter with the same tag references the same item. The only difference in value might be due to the parameter changing as a function of time.

Notice that all tags are unique. In other words, no context is required to determine what value is indicated by a tag. We could for example return a tag "vmax" within the "alt_servo" command, and then return the same tag "vmax" within the "az_servo" command. We do not do this, as this would require knowing the command context to understand the tag, rather we give unique tags like "vmaxaz".
