PF (Position Format)
[Setting]
DESCRIPTION:
The PF command allows the user to format the position numbers such as those returned by TP. The number
of digits of integers and the number of digits of fractions can be selected with this command. An extra digit
for sign and a digit for decimal point will be added to the total number of digits. If PF is minus, the format
will be hexadecimal and a dollar sign will precede the characters. Hex numbers are displayed as 2's
complement with the first bit used to signify the sign.
If a number exceeds the format, the number will be displayed as the maximum possible positive or negative
number (i.e. 999.99, -999, $8000 or $7FF).
The PF command can be used to format values returned from the following commands:
