Formatting Data
Returned numeric values may be formatted in decimal or hexadecimal* with a specified number of digits
to the right and left of the decimal point using the PF command.
The Position Format (PF) command formats motion values such as those returned by the Tell Position
(TP), Speed? (SP?) and Tell Error (TE) commands.
Position Format is specified by:
PF m.n
where m is the number of digits to the left of the decimal point (0 through 10) and n is the number of
digits to the right of the decimal point (0 through 4) A negative sign for m specifies hexadecimal format.
Hex values are returned preceded by a $ and in 2's complement. Hex values should be input as signed 2's
complement, where negative numbers have a negative sign. The default format is PF 10.0.
